Lenovo 3000 J Series 1.80G VBE PC Desktop - Page 3 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

check the cable connector

When you install a operating system, all the hardware drivers must be installed. Such as, chipset, graphics, Ethernet,modem, or what ever hardware you have.

So you need to go to the website of lenovo and download all the drivers
for your operating system, if the pc came with vista, and you put on xp,
they might not offer the drivers for xp, so you will have to look at every piece of hardware and go to there website and get the xp drivers.
This is the best way.

Or you can let windows find them for you.

See where the yellow shields are, click on the + sign and you will see the hardware,

now right click on the hardware and in the little window choose
Update Driver Software, then tell it to search the internet for the driver.

It will walk you through it , each page whan you click next.

Any more questions just post back.

Best and by far easiest method would be to make use of "System Restore". Simply restore your computer to an earlier time - you want to restore the system to a time as close to the current date as possible but at the same time - restore it to a time/date that to your recollection, would be before this problem on your desktop occurred.

Not sure if you are familiar with system restore so here's the click path to get you there:

...from your desktop and with all programs closed:

1) click on <start>
2) point mouse to < All Programs>, <accessories>, <system tools>
3) when mouse is pointed at <system tools>, navigate mouse down
the list to where you see <system restore> and click on it.

from there, just follow the on-screen instructions and pick your restore point by the calendar that will appear.

Should solve your problem as there is a key stored in the windows registry which may be very difficult to decode otherwise.

just Go to www.google.com type the Brand of your PC along with "USB Drivers Free Download"...and press enter....then click on the search suitable to you

try ebay...?
Or maybe is this board compatible
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=geforce+6150
it has the same chipset....
Hope it helps

Start with the obvious first, Control Panel, Sounds and audio devices, and check that the volume is up, for all items, and none have the "mute" box checked.

Next, go to the "sounds" tab, and where the various sounds are listed, highlight the first word, "asterisk" and click the triangle to the immediate right, it should play that sound annoyingly loud.

If not, and the "play" button does not release, thhen we may have a more serious problem.

Next, check the speakers are on, and plugged into the correct output (for powered speakers, the "line out" jack, for passive, the "headphones" jack.)

If your speakers are working, (this can be checked from the headphone jack of a CD, or mp3 player, for example), then the problem is the sound circuit.

Go to Control Panel, System, device manager, check "sounds and video controllers" make sure there is no yellow box with an exclamation mark next to "audio device." If there is one, then the drivers are not properly installed, or have become corrupted, go online and update to the latest drivers anyway.

If that yellow mark won't go away, or install fails for any reason, then the sound chip itself has died, or is sharing a resource with another device that doesn't like to be shared..

Also sometimes there is a headphone jack in the front of the PC, for easy access. If you plugged in a set, most often the rear jacks are disabled automatically. If the switch doesn't release when you unplug, the back speaker jacks will remain disabled.

If still under warranty, take it in to have the mainboard replaced, as the sound board is built in.

If not, then you can buy a USB sound device dongle, plug it into a USB slot, Plug your speakers into that, and you are good to go.

If you do pro audio, you shouldn't be using the onboard sound anyway, you can spend under a grand for a firewire interface that rivals any professional recording studio.

A word of caution, if the sound chip died, something must have killed it, like a spike or such. Other parts of the mainboard may not be far behind.

Think about replacing the mainboard, and use the opportunity to upgrade the machine.

hello there

ok you can go to your bios and check the settings on it while you'll on there. all you have to do is look for this ddc/ci if it's disable then you just enable it. (save it) and reboot. that should take care of your problem if not let me know we can go from there.

Good day sir/ma'am, hi, If your PC/motherboard does not produce sound, it could be any of the following even if you have the latest driver:

1. Your correct device driver for the sound is not yet installed. locate the CD that come with your PC or call the dealer for the CD, its your CD not theirs you have paid for it.
2. worst is that your built in sound card is bad, you can get a replacement soundcard of any brand, provided its PCI slot. or get those small USB type sound card.
3. If still no sound, it would help it you can reinstall your windows, a fresh copy of windows clears all jumbled up setups and registers and out dated drivers, reinstall the driver from the driver CD afterwards.

If I miss anything feel free to ask, hope these will solve your sound problems.

Lenovo isn't American, it's Chinese. Yes, you're out of luck.

The only way you could do this is to go to radioshack or and electronic store and purchase 3.5mm splitter this will allow you to plug in two headphones and hear the same thing.

Check the capacitors on the motherboard, I have 3 units that did the same thing. See how many are bulging on the top, they should be flat.
Check the ones around the cpu or the video card slot.

If you are using Window's Media Player 7 Or Greater then use the following code;
I Used Windows Media Player 11
'For Opening a file WindowsMediaPlayer1.URL = "<Drive>\<Path>\<Filename WIth Extension>"
'For Stoping WindowsMediaPlayer1.Controls.stop
'For Playing WindowsMediaPlayer1.Controls.play
Explore "WindowsMediaPlayer1.Controls." it has all the control u require

Do these specs sound right?


The Lenovo 3000 J115 series of computers does not come with a video card but with the NVIDIA GF 6100 Integrated Graphics which is plenty to run the Windows Vista operating system. You can also expand the graphics capabilities by adding a video card in the available PCI Express video card slot.

The motherboard, Lenovo Model L-NC51M, which comes with this series of computers, has two memory stick slots, one PCI express x1 slot, one PCI express x16 slot and two PCI slots. The 3000 J115 models come standard with Windows Vista Home Basic Operating System, 512 gigabytes memory, an 80 gigabyte serial ATA hard drive, Integrated Gigabit Ethernet and a 16X DVD optical drive.


If so, there should be more sata ports on the motherboard.

This what sata ports look like:

You also need a sata power cord or Molex to Sata power adapter:

check 1st a ATX power supply if this a good 2nd remove the memory then make a clean using a paper eraser clean all the pin connectors of memory....

try with other headphone or spkr to figure it out whether ur spkr is fine or not. Or have u mute the master volumes of your system sound ?

You need DDR2 PC2-5300 (240 pin) RAM.

THE PROBLEM IS THAT YOUR COMPUTER AND ALL THE WISDOM MICROSOFT SECURITY OPTION MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO ACCESS THAT PART OF WINDOWS.

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO MAKE CHANGES TO YOUR SERVICE FOLDER.

THE OTHERS ARE IN THE CONTROL PANEL, NEED TO CHECK OUT THE NETWORKING AND SHARING FOLDER, NEED TO GO INTO SECURITY AND DISABLE EVERYTHING UNTIL YOU FIX WHATEVERY YOU NEED TO FIX.

THAN YOU NEEED TO GO INTO WINDOWS DEFENDER AND WINDOWS FIREWALL AND DISABLE ALL THEM FILES.

BUT BEFROE YOU DO ANYTHING BACK UP ALL SETTINGS AND FILES, TAKE NOTES ON EVERY THING YOU DO SO YOU DONT FORGET TO TURN SOMETHING BACK ON.

MOST OF THE THING TO NEED FIXING IS IN THE REGEDIT FOLDER

GO INTO CONTROL PANEL AND LOOK UNDER THE FOLDER CALLED DEFAULT PROGRAM AND JUST LOOK TRHEW THE SELECTIONS YOU MAY NOT HAVE TO DO ALL THAT WORK FOR NOTHING.
