Lenovo 3000 N100 power supply Issue (can not be powered by AC adapter)

I apologize in advance if this is something that has been covered here before. I searched and could not find anything.

My laptop was working fine up until this morning when I woke up.  Which is normally green power light was orange.  I turned on the computer and it worked as usual, except that it was with batteries despite being connected.  I was able to use the laptop until the battery is dead. Now the power light blinks orange when the AC adapter is plugged in and is off when the laptop is not plugged.

I am sure that this is not a battery problem and the adapter itself is brand new (I bought it only two weeks ago) and seems completely in good condition.  I know that this is not a problem with my surge protector, which works very well for other devices. My opinion completely non expert, not technical, is that there is an internal problem where the adapter connects to the laptop.

Any thoughts?

If you feel able to disassemble the laptop yourself,
It is possible to check it out.
If this isn't the case, find a competent computer repairman.
The Jack is a cable, so isn't a major problem to replace,
Unlike some that are soldered to the motherboard.

Here are some videos of disassembly:

    Can I get away with just using my HP 460 Watt power supply after all stock?

    Thank you.

    I have an additive to add to this topic.

    To refresh, my questions focus on a possible shift of the power supply and card mother specs:

    What is an ATX 12 v 2.0 and above technical problem or a power CAP problem?

    I posted my questions on the Forum of power SUPPLY Corsair PSU

    at the same time and I paste it here now, a response

    to GUY of RAM.

    "Hey RAM GUY."

    Sorry I couldn't answer until now.

    Please specify the difference between the ATX 2.0 specification and 2.01

    Spec that the negative - 5 v Rail is not present in the 2.01 spec and

    beyond.  As I mentioned previously, the Thermaltake PSU that has been

    running in my 2009, HP i7 tour for 7 last month said 12 volt ATX 2.2

    on the case and even if the power supply HP OEM said 12 volt ATX

    2.0 in the technical literature, that I found on Google, the real PSU I have does not work

    have any note on the case ATX specification.  So I think it's safe to say, my

    motherboard does not have the negative Rail v-5 at which he played

    nicely with 12 volt ATX 2.2 spec, until recently.

    Although theoretically it is supposed to be no limit on the amount of

    Absorbed power, you can use to power your motherboard, the motherboard because

    is supposed to use only what suits him and cap the rest, it seems that the OEM

    can dial up limitations of power if they deem necessary.

    Could be as simple HP, without wanting to compete with some of his HPs

    Professional workstations, caps so power on some Pavilion Elite

    Series models to prevent them from becoming a much cheaper

    solution.

    In any case, I think that all the available information, digested, he does not speak

    Specification of the ATX, but rather my motherboard HP has a limit of 650 Watts of power

    If I think that I read that someone else got the same motherboard goes with

    750 watts, but I do not remember where to find this announcement. »

    I'm back and Yes!

  • Two big problems that actually my Lenovo 3000 N100 an expensive paperweight.

    Well, I have two problems with my laptop, I know not related:

    1 my laptop battery died a month ago. It will not hold a charge, and disconnect the system stops immediately the system. This is identical to the symptoms according to the question battery attached on the top of the forum. However, this battery problem has occurred after the same extended warranty.

    2. my laptop now spontaneously, inexplicably stopped between 3-5 minutes after having turned it on. It is as if the system was abruptly disconnected.

    Between these two issues, it has effectively crippled my laptop. The first question he limited to the power outlet. The second, it is completely unusable. The system works normally until she stops spontaneously. Due to the time it takes until that stops, I doubt I can use Lenovo online warranty verification tool. For this reason, I can not even serial number (as the warranty sticker is worn to the point of illegibility.

    First question: what can be done to fix it?

    Second question: is it under warranty? It's a Lenovo 3000 N100.

    Please let me know as soon as POSSIBLE. This is a very problematic issue for me, and I am really unhappy that a less-than-two year system is dead, and I hope that this can be resolved.

    Good call Claude. My laptop has started to function normally again because I disconnected the battery. However, more than ever, I need a replacement battery.

  • nVidia graphics card GeForce Go 7300 on laptop Lenovo 3000 N100 0768-family failure

    I took my Lenovo 3000 N100 0768 - family portable computer to a computer laptop shop the other day because I couldn't get anything to appear on the screen to power on and the report I got back from telling them that the motherboard needed a "BGA rework.

    I then received a message "repair has denied" on their tracking system, so phoned and someone said that they could not repair or replace the nVidia GeForce Go 7300 graphics card but I could come and collect the laptop because it is.

    I was wondering if I can do something myself to try to make it work again until I was hard and the parties separated on an auction site.

    Is there a graphics card that seems to be the one that I had on this auction site and I was wondering how it would be difficult to install the card and if it would solve the problem or if the laptop needs a new motherboard.

    Thank you.

    If you ask my personal opinion, don't waste your time and money to replace main Board.

    Just buy new laptop if you can.

  • G4 MDD power supply Issue

    My MDD was recently stop only two or three minutes after a cold start. The power led lights up, the gray screen with the Apple logo appears with the spinning wheel, but then the machine suddenly loses power as if the power cord was disconnected. These are the things I've already tried:

    1. Removed the PRAM Battery
    2. Disconnected all devices except the keyboard and the monitor
    3. Tried a different power cord

    Start in safe mode did not help. The fans are all running, the red LED lights on the logic board and disk drives seem to work. This could be a power supply issue or a problem with the motherboard and is it possible that I can definitely identify the problem without being able to start the G4? The startup time has been considering more when everything worked last week, would that be a clue? I've owned this machine for more than twelve years and it put to the test so I wonder if it's time to retire him.

    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

  • Maximum hard drive size in the Lenovo 3000 N100

    I have Lenovo 3000 N100

    What is the maximum hard disk that can be used. Is it possible to only 5400 RPM or 7200 RPM?

    Thanks for the answer

    Abraham

    No, I'm this based on the Avenue of the planets. Kidding.

    I base this experience with laptops cheaper and lower quality supporting better hard disks, processor, etc. etc.

    Also the fact that some N100 configurations included a 250 GB SATA 5400 RPM hard drive. No reason why will not work a 7200 RPM drive.

    My Lenovo 3000 N100 has begun to turn off unexpectedly when you are connected to the power adapter.  It turns out if I turn back on, but in a few minutes turns off again.  Any ideas?  Thank you

    Thanks for this suggestion.  After much research in these forums, I found a post that says that they have disconnected their computer, removed the battery, then pressed the button of power 15 times for 30 seconds on the last time.  I thought that it could not do wrong so I tried.  It worked!  I am able to stay under tension with my power adapter as long as I want now.  I ordered a new battery and will not leave it a non-use of the original.

  • Lenovo 3000 N100 closures abruprly

    Hello!

    I own a Lenovo 3000 N100 (Intel Celeron M420, 512 MB RAM, 80 GB HDD) for 4 years. I faced the problem of the judgment a few days ago. My battery has been dead for a long time already, so I always use alternating current. The laptop just turns off no visible reason.

    The problem does not depend on a punt BONE (I dual-boot Windows XP and Ubuntu). The judgment is not happened if the unit remained intact for an hour, but should I start some software resource (like a game), it stops immediately.

    I've browsed this forum and found many similar cases. However, I have not found a practical solution to the problem. To me, all these tous ces symptomes symptoms point to possible overheating. May be, the silicone between the CPU and the cooler block has run dry? Someone has solved this problem successfully?

    Thank you!

    Turns out that, the question was not on the thermal paste or overheating.

    After that I had removed the battery, the problem is never repeated. Even if the battery was operable, I often saw incorrect discharge time estimate, then, probably, what all a factory default.

I bought an a6620f Pavilion about 2 months ago I didn't know that you had to purchase a special hardware in order to play video games.

Then try to buy a new video card and it won't work because I only have a 250 watt power supply. I spoke with a hp technician before you buy a PSU and I was told that my motherboard was only designed to use a 300 watt max power I tried to buy one at best buy and the clerk said 4500 is the smallest they sell. and I need at least a 400 Watt or powerrsupply to make the new video card with a value of buyiong. My questuion is what can I do if I can't buy one more big power supply how can I install a new video casrd? Please help me I'm lost

    Hi chefinomaha,

    Sorry to hear about your frustration. Here's some good news.

    I think you have been misinformed or there was a communication error. Your motherboard should not be limited to the only 300W. I don't know with certainty how high you can go in watts, but you can go higher and should go higher, if you add a video card.

    The important thing is to get the right kind of diet that fits your connectors.

    Here's your motherboard page.

    Here is a document with step-by-step instructions and video for adding a video card.

    Here is a document with the video to replace the power supply.
