I have a lenovo 3000 n200 when i press the power button i see lights come on and hear the fan working but i dont' see anything on the screen i also plug in an external monitor and still i saw nothing?
Well it wasn't the memory but I did get the idea to remove what ever I can, it turned to be a bad wireless card when I took it out the computer came on like nothing never happen, so now i'm looking for a new wireless card.

If you still get nothing when you plug into an external monitor, then it sounds as if you have a bad video controller. Unfortunately, on most laptops, except fr high end gaming systems, this is built into the motherboard and cannot be replaced. You will have to replace the motherboard or buy a new laptop. However, one thing to test before you go to that extreme, it is also possible that your RAM has gone bad. You will have to replace the ram with known good stick/s and see if it boots.

Try to drain the electrostatic charge of the motherboard that usually cause this issue. I wrote a tip on how to do the power drain. Try to plug in external monitor on the VGA port and see if you are getting display using external monitor. If you are getting display using external monitor then the problem would be the laptop LCD. If you are getting the same black screen using external monitor then the problem is already the motherboard.
this could be a couple of things wrong.
1.i would try another power cable first.
2,can you hear if the fan is trying to run if not then you may need to take it to some one to have a look at it for you.
I have a solution but i dont't think your going to like it.
One of the most common problems with these computers is that if the hard drive goes, then this is what they do, they sit and do nothing, power comes on and then it sits there and does nothing, no beeps, no warning lights, nothing.
Not sure where you are in the world but if you can another hard drive to test with, just pull yours out and install somebody else for testing, Make sure it's another ibm product. If you do this and the other drive boots your computer then you know for sure that your hard drive was at fault.
Sorry. Hope this helps
Keep pressed the power button of your laptop for about 30 seconds, the machine will power down.
--The above step may not be required as already so many days passed by.
Then plug it into the power adapter.
Switch the laptop on.
Boot in "safe mode" (F8 during boot).
This will fix any driver or some operating system issue during previous failed boot process.
Once it boots completely, do a normal shutdown and reboot your laptop in standard mode (no more F8 this time).
Now your laptop will be ready to use.
Go to the IBM/Lenovo WEB site - support/download page and download the latest Windows XP audio driver for your model laptop, www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-39956.html
What about removing the hard drive from the laptop and put it into sata box, to be USB external drive.
And then get out your important data, and format the hard disk.
and try again to boot???
If it doesn't work , try to replace the memory it might be the problem with the memory.

Thanks midnightHD for the idea.
Any beeps?
