Help, notebook 3000 N200 keyboard is crazy!

N200/3000 notebook my wife just ran out of warranty and the keyboard is crazy.  I checked the number and caps lock, ran the diagnosis for keyboard PC Doctor.  went to Lenovo support/downloads.  But I'm afraid to download the new bios.  I have never do these myself lucky.  Turns into a nightmare.

These are anyway, following symptoms:

-the BACKSPACE key does not work

-space does not work

-below left is pressed, the right is the result on the screen:

y gives "yn".

n gives "yn".

t gives 'tb '.

b gives 'tb '.

-  /     gives                    "[/"

-  [     gives                    "[/"

-BACKSPACE will remove the letter just before but not anymore

These are the only keys that I found the problem with until now, but they make it unusable. Can anyone help.

Thank you

Dean

  • Lenovo 3000 N200 0769 keyboard problem

    I have a strange problem with the keyboard on a newly acquired Lenovo 3000 N200 0769.

    The laptop came from the work, it had been messed up trying to remove Vista and it would not boot from the CD or enter the BIOS, it was stuck just trying to run Rescue and Recovery more and more without a partition of work service.

    I managed to get Windows7 installed on the machine and it works great except for a number of things.  The touchpad does not work (not recognized by the system).  I suspect the material in this case, so I have a forthcoming replacement touchpad.

    The biggest problem is the keyboard.  It does not at all when the machine starts.  This means that I can't get into the BIOS, and I can't "any key" to boot from a CD.  As soon as Windows (or Ubuntu, I used to help recover the machine) load the keyboard driver, the keyboard to life and it works perfectly (I'm typing this message on the keyboard)

    Because the keyboard works perfectly when the drivers are installed, I am inclined to think that the keyboard material is OK.  With Windows installed, I have updated the BIOS to the latest version, no change to the problem.    I tried using a USB keyboard (before flashing the BIOS), but it does not either until the operating system loads.  I also tried to reset the BIOS using the contact in the hard drive compartment.  This causes the BIOS to complain and offer F1 or F2, but the keyboard does not work, so I still can't get.  I reinstalled the keyboard and the touchpad connector on the motherboard.

    Any ideas?  I would like to replace the keyboard if I did fix it (or I ran out of options!), but I bet that someone else ran into the front.  I tried Lenovo ringtone for support, but when they found it was out of warranty, they said "I'm not allowed to talk to you."

    See you soon

    You have the problem solved.

    I was doubtful touchpad.  AMD got one off of eBay just finished install 10 minutes ago.  The keyboard works properly as soon as the machine starts and the touchpad is recognized and working properly as well.

  • Help! How to reset the CMOS on 3000 N200 model 0769?

    Hello

    I need to reset the CMOS (the memory that contains the BIOS settings) on my laptop Lenovo 3000 N200 model 0769. Is it possible to do it without having to remove or the CMOS battery to short physically?

    If I have to remove the battery, where is he? On other models of 3000 N200, the battery is under the keyboard and is removable (shown in the video on www.lenovoservicetraining.comand maintenance manual). However, for the model 0769 there no specific information. Page 99 of the service manual for the 0769 (42 x 3353 - 02.pdf on the Lenovo site) has a graph that shows what might be the CMOS battery near the right side of the main Board. Unfortunately it may well be soldered to the card, not removable.

    Can anyone confirm if the CMOS battery is soldered to the motherboard?

    It is possible that the CMOS is corrupted so that the POST/BIOS Setup screen does not appear. In this case, you need to reset the CMOS manually, for example by removing the CMOS backup battery, "a brick" laptop.

    Fortunately, there is a way to reset the CMOS for the Lenovo 3000 N200 0769 model, which does not require the battery to remove or disable welded. It is not documented in the maintenance manual, but it can be extremely useful. If your machine sounds just a few times when you turn it on (Nothing on the screen, otherwise machine appears dead), it should reset the CMOS because that could save you having to RAM of the laptop, or pay $$$ for the out-of-warranty repair.

    Turn off the laptop, remove the battery and the AC adapter / CC. Remove the access panel that covers the hard drive and the wireless card. Look at the corner of the CCP in the front of the wireless card. There are two metal tracks exposed labeled CLRP1. You must bypass these tracks together for a few seconds.

    You can use the end of a small head screwdriver flat metal or if you have a multimeter set it to measure current and put a probe on each track.

    After doing this the laptop must turn on correctly. He will tell you that the time and date is not defined, and that the CMOS checksum is bad. This is normal when the CMOS was reset. Press F1 to access the menu.

  • Lenovo 3000 N200 wireless problem

    HY,

    I just installed windows xp sp3 on my Lenovo 3000 N200 laptop, I installed all the drivers and everything except wireless works.

  • 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:

  • 3 beeps on Lenovo 3000 N200 starts

    Bought a lenovo 3000 N200 on eBay that was dead, looked as if it was probably a failure of the motherboard to nothing lit up.  Got a 2nd motherboard user with the same number of eBay and mounted FRU 41R7886, now when I turn on the laptop the drive light lights for a few seconds, after he died, I get 3 beeps, cooling fan seems to stay on and there is nothing on the LCD or on an additional screen that I have connected to the laptop. Tried to remove the DIMM 2 and turned on again and the symptoms are the same as before, except no beeps. Can anyone help as to the likely cause of failure? Thanks, Dan

    Problem solved, thanks for all the great answers.

    I tried the memory two sims in my Lenovo 3000 C200 laptop and got exactly the same symptoms, dead PC and 3 beeps, discovered that one memory sims I was using was defective. This replaced and Lenovo 3000 N200 now up and running.

  • 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.

  • 3000 N200 0769ALU

    I'm trying to help my daughter to a new battery for his computer. She ordered a new "FRUP/N42T4664' from IBM. She received a new battery and the invoice indicates 042T 4664, but on the box, there is a label indicating the battery inside is FRU P/N42T4644. I checked the Lenovo Hardware Maintenance Manual and found the battery for all-0769 except G2x is 42T 4514 Sanyo or Panasonic 42T 5216, and battery for 0769-G2x is Sanyo 42T 4517. I don't know whether or not I have a G2x. I'm a bit confused. Can someone help me with this? Thank you and best regards.

    You do not have a G2X.

    Your particular model is the N200 0769-ALU. 0769 refers to the range of products. In this case a Lenovo 3000 N200. The ALU refers to the specific model. Click on.

    Now the question is, it works for the N200? The battery looks the same, similar, different?

    I tried a T 42, 4644 FRU and it shows that it is to many ThinkPads.

    The Lenovo Web site lists a battery N200 as FRU 41U5027. It is a 9 cells for the big screen 15.4 "N200. It does not currently list a 6 cell battery.

    If it's a completely different battery, contact Lenovo and inform them that you have received the wrong battery. Let them know the correct battery is FRU 41U5027.

    If the keys do not correctly collide, make sure that the keyboard is free of dust, dirt or foreign bodies.

    Turn the keyboard upside down to allow foreign debris such as hair, dust, or food particles to fall.

    We recommend that you regularly use compressed air to blow dust from difficult to clean in the keyboard slots.

    If you spill a drink or some other liquid on the keyboard, immediately turn the keyboard upside down to allow the liquid drain on and then remove as much liquid as possible. Wait until the keyboard is completely dry before using it again.

    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.
