Go into the restore menu by pressing "F8" when your computer starts and select the repair or restore option. You will then be given the opportunity to restore to factory settings. (default).

That is because someone has either removed, formatted or overwritten the partition on which the recovery software was stored. You'll need to find CDs of the software you want, starting with the OS, and install that way.

SOURCE: where can i find lenovo care button on my keybord?

Are you talking about the ThinkVantage button? This is usually the blue button labeled "ThinkVantage" on the upper left of the keyboard. Right after the media or other buttons. On my T61 the upper left has the Esc key, 3 speaker buttons (mute, volume down and volume up) and then the blue rectangular ThinkVantage button.

You will need to download the drivers and software from the lenovo support site for vista

The link below points to the software/drivers for your laptop

Check the back of your laptop for the type number and select accordingly for the drivers.

Welcome to Fixya

The lenovo care button was built to restore the computer back to the factory state if in any case you will be experiencing software problem with your computer and you want to restore it from the original state. If this button will not function for no reason then then only person that can help you is the Lenovo repair department. You can send in the computer to lenovo depot repair and have them re-image the harddrive so that the Care button will be reinstalled.

Welcome to Fixya

If you have'nt repartition the HD then there is a change you can resotre the compter to Vista. Turn off the computer then press the OKR button which is located beside the power button. This button has a picure of a U-turn arrow sign. After pressing the button, you will go to the one key restoration software. All you need to do is to select restore from initial backup and wait while you system is restoring to vista. If none of this works, then you need to order recovery disk for your computer. You may contact Lenovo at 18774536686 then press option no 3.

Try launching the One Key Recovery program.
1. Back up all files that you wish to keep from the C: drive
2. Turn off the computer (no flashing lights).
3. Press the Lenovo Care Button (small button with upside down arrow or word NOVO written on it).
4. Select System Recovery (very much different from the above mentioned System Restore).
5. Select to restore to factory default settings / initial settings.

I have lenovo 3000N seriesr laptop of HCQ model. when i am switching the laptop only white screen with lenovo written is comming,what may be the problem

Turn on your computer. Watch the display carefully while your PC starts. While the initial screen ( LENOVO ) is displayed, press the Lenovo Care button. The Rescue and Recovery workspace opens.

Click Restore your system > Restore my hard drive to the original factory state > follow the instructions on the screen.

If Rescue and Recovery did not launch, the motherboard may need replacing.

RESTORING FACTORY CONTENTS.

That is because someone has either removed, formatted or overwritten the partition on which the recovery software was stored. You'll need to find CDs of the software you want, starting with the OS, and install that way.
