Boot up the laptop and enter into your BIOS. You can do this by pressing F2 at startup. From there select the boot tab and rearrange the boot menu order placing the disc drive to be the first to boot from. Then save changes and exit. You can also select boot from external media (USB boot) and place it in the order you desire such as after CD but before hard drive. Then insert your recovery CD and upon boot it should prompt you to press any key to boot from CD.

It sounds as though the display may need replacing.
Try calling your local computer repair place for replacement of the display or Lenevol if your laptop is still in warranty.

restore using system restore then look for the video chip set spec and download from the source, not IBM.

this happened to me, you need to reinstall the drivers for your wireless adapter, these should be able to be found when you hit my computer and then C drive.. there is generally a partition that says drivers

Problem with the lid.

Hello.The laptop have to have a boot cd with the image of the windows and all drivers installed.However not all laptops have it.The only way to reset to factory changes, to be a computer without no data on it,how i understand, except windows and drivers, is to format it.

I think u have soundcard problem.
If it is then uninstall ur soundcard drivers and then reinstall it.
Otherwise u have to use VLC media player for playing music try it out

Try pressing the sound up button on the top of the keyborad. There are 3 buttons sound up, sound down and mute. It appears that the sound control on windows is independant of the buttons.

Windows has the ability to swap mouse buttons, mainly for those who mouse left-handed. It looks to the right button for left button action. It seems that the actual left button is not functioning. A work-around is to use the right button as the left as you are now doing, AND, use the solid windows button (the one to the immediate left of the right control key) as the right button. Not as easy, but it works.

reinstall *********** board chipset drivers, to fix this problem.

Get driver detective, it really helps. First scan your computer and it will get the drivers itself for you. Just click download

First off, check to make sure the sound is not muted. check the speaker icon next to the clock or the sound properties in control panel. If it is not muted then download this driver: http://www.soft32download.com/software/free-download-IBM-ThinkPad-R40-Audio-driver.html
