Better to instal the sound driver from your motherboard cd

it can mean that you need a new DVD drive, but you can first try to delete the upper and lower registry filters for the drive. You can find an automated method and the manual steps through the following Microsoft article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/982116 . Another thing to do is to update the firmware of your drive if available. Search it through the manufacturer of your system or the drive itself. Lastly, you may also attempt using lens cleaner. Hope these things will help

This model has a history of touchpad problems. Most times it is the ribbon cable that has come disconnected from the board. The connector is beneath the "C Cover" or top coer assembly. This is not for at the faint hearted. LOL. If you can keep track of screws and sizes. The manual may be helpful. Most IBM/Think models have full videos on how to repair replace something on the thinkpads. This model does not have one that I could find. But here is the manual

Hi,

Try Removing your battery first then unplug the Power adaptor from the system, then press and hold down the power button to do a power drain on your systems motherboard.

return your battery then try powering the system using battery only.
if the system still wont power up using battery, plug in your adaptor go in windows, go to add remove programs or programs and features depending on what windows your system has, once in either one of the two look for energy management uninstall it from your system then restart the computer one last time try powering using your battery only.
If still this does not work powering the system using battery try updating drivers for your motherboard go to the lenovo website consumersupport.lenovo.com for the chipset drivers download

if still nothing has changed call lenovo probably something is wrong with your motherboard or battery you may need to send the system back to lenovo for further checking.

You find the original sales-receipt, to prove to Lenovo that you, not a thief, is in possession of your computer.
Then, you telephone Lenovo, and ask for Technical Support on how to unset/bypass the BIOS-password.

Try to use the One Key Recovery if still fails contact LENOVO Warranty Support Department, check if the machine is still on warranty for depot so that you can send it for repair via Fedex free of cost.

The user manual for that model 3000-c200-8922 is here http://www.retrevo.com/support/Lenovo-C200-Laptops-manual/id/615dj197/t/2/
I have seen these instructions for Lenovo laptops - specifically that the laptop needs to be off when connected and then booted to enable the S-Video - no details available on the IBM site I can find

• Make sure the laptop is off
• connect S-Video lead to your tv
• switch the TV to you S-Video AV input
• Switch onlaptop
• Now press the fn key + f7 key together - do this as the system is booting

If that does not work, try going into the display advanced features - not sure if you have vista or XP or windows - post back what you have , and look for a setting for TV out

try to perform battery drain. you need to take out the battery and unplugged the power adapter. press and hold the power button and count 1-10. release the power buttong after 10. do it for 3 times. after that, plug in the adapter and power adapter and observe.

If the pre-installed operating system is not windows xp and you just upgraded/downgraded to XP, you have to download the drivers for your audio device. You can download the drivers at: http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/driversdownloads/drivers.html

once you're at the website, type the serial number of your computer and hit search. scroll down to see the audio categories and select the driver for you audio device that is compatible with windows xp
