Lenovo Popular Questions, Answers, Tips & Manuals

new posts, a 10 year old PC it is. ( T400)I guess the shop is closed? or you want us to do wild guessing? what are you askingwhat's wrong? well it's dead, next is testing.Most PCs this old are now dead. (yah)in order of early deathh(sic)Big battery bad and shorted long ago. remove it.CCFL back lamps DEAD. ( most are now)RTC coin cell dead.(when you said dead, I think , silent fans and no screen text ever)sure it ran ok before, but when last week , 5 years ago?12 steps, see em>? how far can you get.? here. http://pcdied.com/dead-PC.htmlyour manual is here.http://tim.id.au/laptops/lenovo/thinkpad%20t400%20r400.pdf

never use those ever. Universal power packs ever. NO PC stated, some need 90watt power pack why not buy the correct power pack for Lenovo and end this pain. no PC stated, so can't show you the correct pack sold on ebay. some PCs come with 3 different sized packs. the higher power one matches the gaming version of the PC or called multimedia option with faster CPU /GPU that needs more power to run. what does that mean ,we need the full model number of the PC or ask Lenovo, we are not Lenovo,.

buy a newone no makers of keyboards sell parts. unless high end boards,$100 + like I have, Corsair. any store , buy a $8 keyboard USB> look in ebay, see all those.? even your sold used cheap I'd buy new, (new = clean )

can you be more specific?this is an ALL IN ONE PC, (and almost Desktop is I call them)see how far you can get I the list.if confused? get it serviced by a tech?http://pcdied.com/dead-PC.html

we cant see your screen, so answers are very hard lacking photos of failing screens. NO PC stated at all just Laptop ,it has model name and number. NO OS stated, just windows, (XP?) the virus magnet XP?> yes remove the huge battery first. run on AC PACK only , good now? yes, clean PCs vents of all lent. are you running said laptop on blanket blocking air vents, bad that is . do not do that. funny screen graphics, and worst stalling is what to diagnose. try this big battery out. turn on PC, and go to the first BIOS screen using the BIOS hot key that is in your manual, I cant tell you, as no PC stated. The if this screen looks good for hours on end., the Hardware is mostly ok. if this fails. does the fan blow air,? as it must for sure if it overheats the fan blows faster on all PCs like this. all PCs overheat if not serviced (cleaned) all do. if fan dead if fan can't speed up, due to lint packing IT. vents clogged, and more. first run with that battery pack larger removed, on AC only. see if it run on AC , you can do that forever if you want, if PC fan acts up say so or if dead. my guess to is the GPU chip gets too hot. The CPU self shuts down at 90C, by the magic of Intel Inside. (or AMD inside )

the beep codes tell you what fails the service manual covers this, easy. no full model stated, just terse thinkcenter. series, C,D,E,P,S we cant guess series nor the numbers after the letter. try startiong posts with full model c20 book shows this PC has giant list of failure codes, a world record IMO C20 is my guess, sure wrong but you did not say. PC model so here is an example of RTM at lenovo.com page 45 ....+++ and 63..... beep 1-3-3.-1 is Dram bad. but im reading he oldest PC and oldest book , find yours called maitenance and read it, under topic POST BEEP codes, it is there. https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/workstations/thinkstation-c-series-workstations/thinkstation-c20/documentation?searchLocation=PSPDoc_S

There is some useful way to fix it properly. But If you need the proper guidance you can easily visit the https://hpsupports.co/hp-support-assistant/ page.

Try a weird fix that some people have experienced success with. Remove the battery pack, then hold the power on button down for 10-20 seconds (any extended period of time will not harm your laptop, this appears to only discharge voltage from the system) Reinstall the battery and then turn the laptop back on by holding the power button down for 10-20 seconds. May take 3-4 attempts to get it to boot up. There may be a problem with recently installed programs, the HDD may be faulty or an update hasn't been applied properly due to a compatibility issue. Hopefully the battery removal method will work for you.

ok PC is not dead.fans , I dont know but the this PC has 1 fan and must blow air out the hot air exit port and the radiator behind that port must not be packed in lint or the PC will overheat and shut of, as all do like that.by DESIGN, (cpu self shut down or BIOS does it)so the PC processes.the PC runsThe PC BIOS worksleaving dead OS or DEAD HDD.run HDD tests. is next , and for sure.if HDD is bad, all next steps fail. see?

can you ask this at Lenovo community? or learn what version of Android OS you have now. then go to any android forum on earth or read manuals on it. but here is where to ask first. what version of android you run, the answer will be the Chrome browser rules I bet. website + chrome browser = larger font. Android "Nougat" (codenamed N in-development) is the major 7.0 release of the Android operating system. It was first released as a developer preview on March 9, 2016 also what Chrome browser version you run now, can have bearing on hot keys possible in the app. Chrome browser V72 is NOW. there are 2 ways, ZOOM or Font size. I'm guessing font size is your question; https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/forums/searchpage/tab/message?filter=location&q=tab%204%20,%20users%20manual%20android&location=category:Community-EN&collapse_discussion=true next I will google for you, are you ready, 1,2,3 go google lands this., If you want to change the font size for most of the websites you visit, you can change the settings of your Google Chrome browser to accommodate. Simply open your browser, click on the three vertical dots on the top right corner and click on "Settings." Scroll down to the bottom and click on "Show Advanced Settings." Under "Web Content," you can customize the set font size, page zoom and font. Note that though most of the websites you visit will appear in your set font size, page zoom and font settings, Google Chrome might not be able to adjust all websites. and the best of all ? this (step by step , spoon fed ,examples) https://www.wikihow.com/Change-the-Default-Zoom-for-the-Android-Browser

this? (joking sorry)

did you use the external VGA port and then not use the lenovo hot key to turn that on Fn? remove the huge battery first and run on AC pack now? only? screen dead no text? this is bios, must never be dead. no lenovo, icon, at power on this is bios. fan dead silent.? is the HDD (ear to casing) dead silent , prooving dead HDD. run HDD tests? if heard to spin if all above is dead that means power is gone. try new AC pack for $8 cost? or use voltmeter on yours see if it is dead? pack output pins DC.

Swipe the screen

Need to reinstall windows.

I stronger recommend downloading the LibreOffice for android https://www.libreoffice.org/download/android-viewer

Spanish the English fixya, ok. How can I access the Lenovo Ideapad 100S useful internet? even the English version is no good. I'm wildly guessing you meant to say. my internet is dead? or CAN I use internet, well what country at home or not at home? what ISP do you have( service provider) we do not know that. this PC has this the first one below is called WIFI so you need local wifi to have internet. 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0 what you need at home is WWW>>>ISP>>>home>>>>modem:>>>>router (wifi) and your PC.(and password) see that,? so call you ISP and ask for WIFI. it is not free at home but can be in coffee-shop.

hi Cindy well that varies by the OS. called a G series laptop at makers site my wild guess, per makers site the PC came with windows 7, and not Linux. or newer. windows click start so click control panel click programs just 3 clicks. this works on all versions of windows if running windows.

hello , glad to help you. (has = have)? what are you attempting, ? my guess, I guess you are asking for us to read your product spec. and to see if it supports NVMe 2 SSd Card aka m.2 DDS. I thinks the answer is no. I read 2 product specs and is not listed why not ask at Lenovo, they have books we cant find. they made it so.... they know. only they know all questions. I say NO but do ask them. here at the makers site< ok? https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/forums/searchpage/tab/message?advanced=false&allow_punctuation=false&filter=location&location=category%3ACommunity-EN&q=G70+ or read the makers of Nvme pages , for the support list I see none on G70 there. if using a Samsung NVME, like me now, read there pages on what they support, and G70 is not it. I think ALL Gnn are not supported, one post said G40 , is not. no books show it.

Some of them have to be clicked backwards before they will unlock the port.
