Go to CONTROL PANEL, SYSTEM and SECURITY, and select DEVICE MANAGER under SYSTEM options. Go down the list to IMAGING DEVICES and click to see if your webcam is installed with a yellow symbol indicating a problem. If you have a problem OR if the camera is not there, try reinstalling the Device Driver. Go to your computer manufacturer's web page, identify your system, click support, and device drivers. DOWNLOAD and REINSTALL the device driver for your camera. If this does not work, you may have a hardware failure and need to replace the camera which is usually very inexpensive. Look for it on eBay rather than the manufacturer's web site. .

Have you tried a Syatem Restore to a date before this issue?

This could be one of a few problems.It could be the power supply has gone out. The black brick on the cable is the power supply. It could be the Motherboard has gone out.It could be the RAM has gone out.

Do you have access to a volt-ohm meter? Look at your power supply, it says what the voltage needs to be. Does it have a green led & is it on?To chk using a good meter, dis-connect your power supply from your pc & from the wall plug. If both ends are not connected you will not got shocked if your in your home, sitting down. Turn the meter dial to the "ohm" setting & begin with the R X 1 scale, place the black lead to the outside edge of the cable, place the red lead to the center pin, if the scale meter doesn't move, then try each of the other scales. After you finally got "a reading", do the same to the end that plugs into the wall. They will be different, but you do have to have a reading on both ends, or the power supply is bad. if all is good, (got a reading), plug the power supply back in to the wall & turn the meter to the dc scale & voltage to the 10 to 50 vdc setting. Very cautiously now, place the black lead on the outside edge again, & the red lead to the "tip" of the pin in you pc end of the cable. DO NOT ALLOW the red lead to make contact with the outside edge of the cable or you will short out the power supply! If you have the proper voltage, (usually 16vdc to 20vdc) the power supply is ok & you'll need to take the pc to a competent repair place to get a quote for repair. BE CAREFUL!

The best way is either to get a program called password resetter or re-install windows on it.. Let me know if this answers your question and good luck..

If you can login in under your User password and has administrator password, then you can change the Administrator/supervisor password. Go to Control Panel - User Accounts then select the User account and change the password for this User.

THis may or may not work.
First you must reset the bios. To do this you must short the J1 jumper an start the computer. After the start then stop the system, remove the jumper. It should ( but may not clear the bios). Hope this helps you. Good Luck!

Hi,

If your computer turns off suddenly when you open two or more websites, you might wanna check the following:

1. Scan for virus on your computer.
2. Try to boot into Safe Mode with Networking (you need to press F8 continuously upon boot-up and choose Safe Mode with Networking) and try to check if issue still occurs.
3. If Step 2 fixes the issue, try to disable start-up items that might be causing the issue, step by step guide here.
4. If Step 2 fails and gives you the same issue, you might wanna try doing a System System Restore (if it was working before, step by step guide here or factory restore (you need to press F2 upon boot-up for built-in recovery - backup important files first before proceeding)
5. If all of the above fails, check if the computer is overheating. If it does, you need to have the computer serviced. Call Lenovo Customer Support at 1-877-453-6686.

Additional Troubleshooting Steps can be found here.

Cheers.

There is no way for you to decipher the motherboard BIOS password. You may try to take out the CMOS battery of the motherboard to reset it the board but it is not 100% guarantee that the password will be wiped out.

If taking out the battery will not fix the problem then you need to send in the computer to lenovo and have them reset the motherboard. They have the right tool reset the board.
