3000 N200 upgrades

Having recently clean the housing of the fan on my 3000 n200, it made me think about a few things.

1. my chipset is PM965 and socket P, which seems to be, I can go to any CPU socket P and has an 800 MHz FSB speed. Although in some places on this forum Isee the words "that the bios can support" so I wonder is there any outlet P processors that are not supported by the BIOS of my motherboard? The motherboard model is IEL10 and the BIOS version is 68ET35VWV if necessary.

2. Another problem on this forum seems to be people who have updated the CPU on their laptop find overheating to be a major problem. So is it possible to replace the fan housing or heat sink with cooling more effective or is it a case of each laptop model is different and there is therefore no way to upgrade this fan/cooling system?

3. If this is true, maybe go with a CPU with a lower TDP may be a good idea? My current T2310 works at 35W TDP then maybe go with a more powerful processor with a TDP of 25W would work out cooler / about the same?

4. Furthermore, I wonder if my GPU can be upgraded, I know more GPU is soldered directly to the motherboard but my 3000 N200 has a GeForce 7300 Go, that CPU - Z making sure connects to the motherboard via a PCI-E connection that seems a bit... unlikely. The 7300 will connect through a connection of MXM or something, so I could replace it somehow?

If necessary, my 3000 N200 model is type 0769-BRG.

1. Unfortunately, there are not a lot of data for the laptop Lenovo 3000 for me to answer your question in a meaningful way. The only problem with the CPU you got, is the small size of the secondary L2 cache. I learn by my friend if you can use the line Pentium Dual cpu T2310, there is a very good chance that the T8100 will work also. The T8xxx of CPU series, this is what you should aim for because of the lower TDP and hiding bigger L2. Unfortunately, there are not many people who change the laptop Lenovo 3000, compared to the thinkpads, so it's not terribly much information available about the motherboard.

3 TDP is a CPU thermal design power, which means the maximum heat output by a CPU core under maximum load. If the CPU die size and heat dissipation by the heatsink / fan is constant, then the TDP is directly related to the temperature of the CPU. Therefore a lower TDP means a lower temperature of the CPU.

T7xxx was bad due to the high TDP, leading to a laptop at high temperature. The series Uxxx and Lxxxx of all processors have low TDP, reason for which it runs a lot more fees.

TDP depends on processor architecture, transistor size and voltage.

  • Lenovo 3000 N200 0769 - could I strap a video about this card?

    Hello

    I know that this question is asked before, but I have not found an answer that is relevant to me. I have a 3000 N200 series, version 0769. the original specs are: Windows Vista Home edition, processor Intel Celeron 550 2.0 Ghz, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB of HARD drive, video card integrated in the Chipset Intel 965 M (64 MB dedicated).

    Now, since the original specifications, I've upgraded to another (identical) 1 GB of RAM and a T7100 Intel Dual-core clocked at 1.8 Ghz CPU, and I am now running Windows 7 32 bit. The reason for which I've upgraded to the T7100 is because I saw a variant of the N200 with this CPU.

    My question is: am I able to Update my graphics card? I know that some 0769 variants have an another version of the graphics card, I think than a 256 MB GeForce. Can I get something like this up on my own? Or I hit the wall when it comes to upgrades?

    Please help me, I need a better graphic performance ASAP (work stuff). In addition, I don't have the money for a new laptop (possibly a new card mother or graphics card, but no more than that).

    Thank you!!

    Well, you can't go graphics without Exchange the
    motherboard with Nvidia graphics, which also
    had a different radiator Setup to handle the additional heat
    GPU. So I doubt a swap would work without modification.

    Swaps the motherboard used, IMO, are not profitable.

    RAM can be up to 4 GB, with 3 being a good compromise,
    and cpu Core 2 Duo T7500, which would be too minor for
    a helping hand to the T7100, unless you can find a good deal.

    Probably other processors that were also added later.

    In my opinion? Put the money towards a good laptop used
    with the specifications of need/want.

    Oh and the weak bios? There are a few bios modding communities

    There, but it's a high risk of adventure! See this post for an example:

  • Lenovo 3000 n200 ram expansion

    Hi, I just bought a lenovo 3000 N200, it comes with 1 GB of ram... the thing is, I want to extend to 3 GB. When I bought it, they told me to come back Monday to install an aditional GB (you was a combo) and a promotion of lenovo, I won another GB (hu a little lucky!), can it be upgraded to 3 GB of ram? and if so, should it be 1 GB per slot or it takes 1 GB + 2 GB (2 slots)... Thank you very much in advance for your answers!

    It would probably be the case. But for normal use, 2 gig should be easy to do.

    Hello

    I installed the N200 0769. Fast for the monitor in standby, wireless and external access keys do not work, but Lenovo Care allows you to extended standby/sleep mode or turn it Off under power settings button, if this isn't a big deal. When I run TpFnF5.exe manually, it works, then can still use it. All multimedia keys work.

    Fingerprint software UPEK works very well, by default software lenovo does not work, but I find Upek much better though.

    No problem here with windows 7, it's actually much smoother then Vista that was preinstalled and had hudge hangs out with multitasking, until I thought cut AHCI in the bios. With W7, I turned back and used instead, by default Microsoft drivers Intel and it worked much better then Vista I did my default OS W7

  • Lenovo 3000 N200 - cannot access Rescue and Recovery - MBR poss problem?

    I have a Lenovo 3000 N200 sick who was running XP home. I could not start XP and can only access the Rescue and Recovery utility in the Lenovo recovery Partition that would be to rebuild the hard drive to factory settings IE. Windows XP with no data. I managed to copy the data using a Paragon backup cd and then made the fatal mistake of attempting a repair MBR, which was a very tempting option on the Paragon rescue cd. Now, not only it does not boot to XP, but I can run is even more Rescue and Recovery to reinstall XP which is the problem!

    If I boot with windows install disc and take the option recovery console it stops, statement that "recovery console could not find the hard drives connected to your computer. Setup cannot continue. "

    I was wondering if someone another backup MBR restore could help me with this?

    So, if someone has a Lenovo 3000 N200 work and is willing to try to save the MBR to send it to me, then please get in touch. It is probably useful to make a backup for yourself where the same problems happen to you!  In my view, there are a bunch of programs that backup the MBR for example MBRtool, MBRWizard and so on.

    Any ideas, offer accepted with gratitude.

    Yes I know I could buy the Lenovo recovery disk, but it is a matter of principle for me avoid paying £50 or so if I can avoid it! We'll see if we can help here...

    Thank you

    I am pleased Andyp!

    The solution was to set the primary partition to inactive and value the recovery partition Active, then restart and use the Lenovo Care button (now finally works) to access the function of recovery so I could return the laptop to factory State.

    No doubt there are plenty of ways to do it, but the approach I took to solve this problem is released under

    1. use another PC to download Paragon backup and restore (I actually used the trial edition now but the free edition may have a similar feature)

    2nd burn a CD bootable backup and recovery 10.0.

    3. start the CD Lenovo, and after a long wait, a menu should appear with 11 options, the first of them being Paragon backup and restore.

    4. Select Paragon backup and restore.

    5 select properties in the pick a task window and you will see two partitions, a big enough (in my case Go 143, called Preload) and the other is quite small (6 GB called SERVICEV001).

    Note: this is an opportunity brilliant to use the Back Up Partition option to make a backup on external drive USB of the two partitions as the reconstruction of the hard drive with Lenovo Care button you will lose all data.

    6 right-click the partition preloads and select Edit and set idle

    7. made the SERVICEV001 partition right click and select Edit and set the Active

    8 remove the backup and recovery of CD and put it somewhere safe

    9. restart the PC and Lenovo Care button (might be called something different) should now work, allowing you to restore the hard drive to factory settings which will erase all data of a personal nature. You did a backup?

    10 Windows should then start as usual, reinstall Paragon backup and restore, and restore your data.

    Finally, look at this as a lesson to

    (a) you get a writable DVD and use the Lenovo menu under windows to create a floppy disk from Lenovo rescue and recovery started.

    (b) use Paragon or equivalent to create copies of images of each partition and ordinary differential copies of the primary partition.

    I hope this will help other owners who have a hidden rescue for example partition. IBM and HP and would like to receive feedback.

    Finally, I must acknowledge assistance patient e-mail provided by Taisia Smirnova Paragon support by offering me this solution.

    best, Simonides

  • Computer laptop Lenovo 3000 N200 that does not start as a system file is missing or damaged:

    «I have a laptop Lenovo 3000 N200 that won't start as "" Windows has no start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM "»»

    Rescue and Recovery Tools will allow me to restore the hard drive to factory settings, but I prefer to back up important data first. Rescue and recovery apparently allow backup and pays the appropriate folder / structure of files, but the "Start" option is grayed out.

    Hello

    I have a 3000 N200 laptop since 2008. Despite his work both Kapersky and Norton, I got infected with malware Windows Security 2010 in summer. Malwarebytes did not work to get rid of, so I adjusted used rkill at the start to stop upwards. A couple of weeks, I got malware security tools. Now rkill wouldn't work. I tried to follow a manual online guide to remove. He suggested to abolish the EXEs with random numbers. I found one and did, but now the system will not boot to Windows. It goes to a screen with the Lenovo logo and a symbol of rescuer. What should I do? The screen is very nice but there is nothing to click on and no keys work to start any process.

  • Lenovo 3000 N200 on the habit of power and shows no lights

    Hi all

    I have a Lenovo 3000 N200 laptop. One day he just off its autonomy while watching a video, and now shows no signs of life. Used to power on, no light when it is connected with a power supply, nothing.

    I tested the power supply and tried another new and get the same result. So I don't think that the battery/power supply is the issue.

    I have a feeling that it is something more serious, the laptop is out of warranty and IBMs fresh out of warranty are stupidly high. If anyone knows what could cause this problem and if it is possible to repair with a spare room (off ebay or elsewhere), I'm able to disassemble the laptop and replace a part.

    Thanks for any advice.

    Bass sounds.

    Some say remove memory and see if it gives an indication

    of life, like any beeps at startup.

    Try without battery, try to unplug it, remove the battery and press and hold the

    power button for 30 seconds and plug in again etc.

    Try to remove the hard drive, but this looks like a dead motherboard

    If you have any sign of life after trying everything you can think of.
