Hi Mister_x158,

Yes, you do need to reinstall your audio driver and here's how to get the driver and install it:

1. Go to www.consumersupport.lenovo.com
Note: If it's your first time, it will ask for your country or region. Please select the country/region where you are located.

2. You can either do Option 1: Enter a serial number. You can find your serial number at the bottom on a Lenovo sticker and it will say S/N which usually starts with EB followed by 8 digit number


3. Or Option 2: Select a product. For Brand, select Notebooks. For Family, select Ideapad S12. For Type, just select All types.



4. Click Search and you will have the list of drivers for your system. Scroll it down to Audio and select the proper one.



5. To know which one is the correct driver, look at the applicable OS. For example, your OS is windows xp then select the 5th driver on the list.

6. Click on the driver and it will bring you to the next page.

7. Look for the Download Here and click on the exe file




8. You will get a pop-up for License Agreement so click on I Agree

Hi,


Welcome to FixYa! This may cause by an electrical charge in the motherboard itself,Im not really sure how it affects the display of the computer.There's also a possibility that the problem is with the LCD cable or the LCD itself. Please follow this method since it usually fix such problem like that,


1.Removed the battery then unplugged the AC adapter


2.Press and hold the power button or the ON/OFF button for at least 30 seconds


3.Connect the power supply back to your computer then turn it back on.


4. Check if you will see any difference.


5. If nothing happens, try to press and hold Fn and F2 on the keyboard.


If nothing happens, there is a possibility that the problem is with the LCD or monitor itself, maybe it will need a replacement...


I hope this information will be helpful. Thank you for using FixYa...

There do exist turntables with a USB port.

Or, if your turntable just has the "post-and-ring" RED and WHITE stereo audio RCA-jacks, then you need an adapter to merge the two audio channels, and to connect to the "microphone-input" socket on your computer.

Then, tell Audacity to listen to that "microphone-input", and record from that source.

Dear Sunny
All you have to install the drivers for Sound Card and Bluetooth supplied in the CD that came with your laptop.
if you dont have a CD then goto the link i am providing and download the drivers as required
you have to mention the Operating system you are using and category you need to download like for sound go for Audio.

Is that Useful?

Call Lenovo and check if you are still under warranty, they'll fix it right up for you.

Hello
Wow youve done almost everything here.How about the firewall? is it blocking any connections?

Next,Go to control panel,network and sharing center.Look and see if the pc or laptop in question is on the same network,meaning home or public.

Set all your machines to the same network.Either home or public.I do know this has been a win 7 problem.

Hi sheiladew,

Welcome to Fixya!

The speakers of your G550 are located on the front edge of the palmrest and sound more than adequate for playing music or watching streaming video. We have to note the system's versatility in terms of usage, but it's a downside that it does not have a microphone.

I have included a link that can tell you more information about this product, as well as it's components:

Welcome to FixYa!

This is the usual error message when the system failed to connect to your hard drive after POST (Power On Self Test). You can try to load the BIOS and try to auto detect the hard drive from there, if it fails, then I would highly recommend for you to send this laptop to an authorized service provider.

Alternatively, you can visit Lenovo's support site for more information about this problem, and some guides on how to properly remove components :
