Hi. Is there a function key combination that will toggle between screens? Fn and f3 does it on mine.

Go to device manager, network adapters, select your wifi adapter, right click then uninstall it. If you're with Vista, do not delete the drivers. Then when its gone, select action on device manager and scan for hardware changes. It will re install the wifi adapter back. Now try to reconnect back to your router, put in your security key and once connected, save it. When you boot it up again it should connect back automatically again.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I suggest you can try to download the Driver on the Lenovo Website. Here is the link for the Drivers.

Download the driver pack from Lenovo, make sure you get the correct model for your netbook and the correct dated version. The Lenovo driver pack is a self extractable .exe file and performs all the up dating and installation functions required without any user input required.

Hook a monitor to the video output, if picture is present it means the inverter board is the most likely problem, [located under the screen] the second possibility is the backlight behind the display. Now if both screens show the same symptom it is the video graphics chip.

turn off laptop and remove the battery. now remove the back plate so you can se the motherboard, what you are looking for is a small flat battery used to store CMOS settings and usually not to far away is a set of 3 pins with a jumper over 2 of them take the jumper off and move along to the other 2 pins leave it there for a couple of second and return it back to its original position if this didn't work leave the jumper on the other 2 and turn the PC back on this will take you to another section of the bios which should allow you to make change you need. if they both don't work contact the manufacturer as some companies like HP require you to contact them first with the serial number and model number so they can give you a unique code to reset it with.

Make sure you're logged in as an Admin. I believe that for some copies of xp, non admins can't access control panel. Also, from time to time, you have to actually go into a screen for it to show up in your start menu (like "My Network Places"). Also, try Right clicking on your Start Button, go to Properties, go to the Start Menu tab, click "customize", then go to the Advanced Tab. Make sure you have control panel listed in there, and that there's a link for it. If not, you can set it now... Might have accidentally been deleted while in a hurry or something. Hope this helps!

What seems to be the problem? Are you having some issues with the download? Please provide more information.
