Lenovo Computers & Internet - Page 6 - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support

In my limited experience all IBM compatible computers and that is nearly all of them, work in just about the same way. Faced with your problem I would begin by getting into the bios and changing the boot order. Access the bios during the start of the startup as directed in one of the first few screens - it all happens so fast the computer might have to be restarted several times by pressing the Alt, Ctrl and Del buttons together. Access the bios by pressing the Del, F8 or whatever at the critical time. Once into the bios go to the page dealing with the boot order and rearrange them so the dvd/cd drive is first in the order and then save the change and exit; then put the Windows system disc in the drive and close the drawer and very quickly restart the computer. If all is good an onscreen message should appear, Boot from disc? or similar...

you will need to open the laptop to fix this.. inside in laptop is a small c-mos battery, this needs needs to disconnected for about 10 minutes with the main battery disconnected and not plugged in. replace the battery and the back of the laptop, and boot it up.after unplugging the battery and mains press power button to release any power left in the system then take the battery out or replace, but this has worked for me 100%

Try go into BIOS (press F1 after you start the pc). Then F9 for resetting BIOS settings.

Try changing the resolution while display 2 is plugged in and active. You can also try changing Display 1 resolution (even if its your main screen)

Find out what is causing the alarm (battery) and turn it off in the menu of that category. You can also try look in the BIOS (press F1 during boot)

If you bought the Lenovo at a local dealer, take it back to them. If you bought it through an online dealer, I recommend you track down Lenovo customer support.

By the looks of the information you gave me...it seems that FIFA '11 might not be able to or may have a real hard time playing on your machine, but it doesn't hurt to try! If it doesn't work, then just simply uninstall it.
Hope this helps ^_^

1-Unplug the device and power off by holding the power button down
Wait 5 seconds, then

2- hold down both the volume up and power buttons (volume up is the side of the long button that is closest to the power button), until you see a screen with “Select Boot Mode” text on it. When you see that, release both buttons.

3-Press the volume up button to move the arrow until it is pointing at the “Recovery Mode” option, then press the volume down button to select it.

4-The “android” logo should appear for a few seconds, then you should be in the “Android system recovery” menu.

5-Use the volume up / down buttons to highlight the “wipe data/factory reset” option, then press the power button to select it.


6-Use the volume up / down buttons to highlight the “Yes — delete all user data” option, then press the power button to select it.

7-Once that has completed, you should be returned to the “Android system recovery” menu. Make sure the top option, “reboot system now”, is selected, then press the power button to select it.

8-The device should reboot and display the “android” logo, followed by the swirling coloured dots. You can then plug the device back in and wait for it to boot up. This will take a long time (up to around 5 minutes).


9-Once the device has booted back into the app, you should be able to set up the wifi, log in with your credentials and re-download your property data.

I have gotten over this problem in the past....
I was locked out a while but they will eventually reset it for you if you keep at it.....

Or perhaps you can remember the silly password you thought you would be able to remember...

A good option might be to start a new one but then again I know I avoided this answer....
Be wary on your way a lot of scammers out there will claim they can help you for $10 or $45 but Google won't charge you to reset your password for you.

Run antivirus scan right after startup. Maybe try AVG (FREE) https://www.avg.com/en-us/virus-removal

You need to get a hold of a windows xp recover boot cd/usb. You can download it on the internet (if you can with something else than the lapop)

Make sure you are using a charger when doing this. One with 20v and 4.5A

Make sure the external screen is on when starting laptop. Make sure the laptop is charging (use the recharger). Also try close the laptops screen down (so screen turns off) and click or move mouse. Then open again and see if the other screen is active.

i have already sent you info on how you might be able todo it.

Windows does not include software to play movie DVDs.
You need to purchase software to perform this task.
I use Corel's WinDVD.

Good luck!

Code 43 Error Message

The Code 43 error is one of several Device Manager error codes. The Code 43 error will almost always display in the following way: "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)" Details on Device Manager error codes like Code 43 are available in the Device Status area in the device's properties: How To View a Device's Status in Device Manager.

Cause of the Code 43 Error

A Code 43 error is generated when Device Manager stops a hardware device because the hardware reported to Windows that it's having some kind of unspecified problem. This extremely generic message could mean there's a true hardware issue or it could simply mean that there's a driver problem that Windows isn't seeing as such but that the hardware is being affected by.

Error Code 43 Troubleshooting

Restart your computer if you haven't done so already. There is always the chance that the error Code 43 you're seeing on a device was caused by some temporary problem with the hardware. If so, a restart of your computer might fix the Code 43 error. Note: Some users have also reported that powering off their computer completely (not just a reset) and then turning it back on has corrected their Code 43 issue, especially if it exists on a USB device. In the case of a laptop, turn it off and remove the battery, wait a few minutes, and then put the battery back in and start the computer.Did you install a device or make a change in Device Manager just before the Code 43 error appeared? If so, it's very possible that the change you made caused the Code 43 error. Undo the change if you can, restart your PC, and then check again for the Code 43 error. Depending on the changes you made, some solutions might include:

• Remove or reconfigure the newly installed device.
• Roll back the driver to a version prior to your update.
• Use System Restore to undo recent Device Manager related changes.

If this is Windows you possibly have the wrong language set for your keyboard or the font doesn't have one. If you don't want to mess with your settings there 2 ways (possibly more) one is with the cursor where you want the ~ put keypad into numeric, press and hold the alt key type 0126 on the keypad let go the alt key or run charmap which is part of Windows highlight the ~ (about 4 lines down in Arial) press select then press copy and past it as required. I hope this helps

It really depends on the DVD content. Commercial DVDs are copy-protected, and unless you have specialized (and usually *******) software, you copy attempts will not work. Home-recorded DVDs can be copied, but again, content is key. You can do something as simply as copy the files to the hard drive and re-burn them to the new DVD, but that will produce a DVD that will work in a PC but might not work in a DVD player is there is video content to be watched. You can copy the disc as a single-file ISO, which provides an exact copy of the disc. To do that you'll need a program that can make and burn ISO files. There are a number a free ones available out there, just be careful what you go for as some are known to be accompanied by adware.
