Re: R400 stuck at ThinkPad screen wont boot - Lenovo ThinkPad R400 Notebook

Can you identify which key is stuck down?
If not the replace the keyboard.
You maybe able to get a replacement keyboard from this WEB site.

OK, and then what?

Hi techsyss,

I see that you are having issue with your taskbar flickering as you mentioned in the notes.


I would be more than glad to assist you regarding your concern.

>Try to reinstall your Video Drivers on the machine or poassibly update the Video drivers.

>Try chagning the resoltion on your system try setting it to a resolution that is lower than what you actually have and see if the flickering will still be occuring.

>Also try to boot into the BIOS of the machine to see if the Flickering occurs in BIOS as well, to boot into BIOS upon powering the machine keep on tapping F1 till you get a blue screen saying phoenix BIOS as long as the word BIOS is there you are in the right page. just check if the flickering happens there, if it does then the issue is not software but most likely hardware it can be the LCD itself or the Cable conenction of the LCD to the Video on the motherboard.

>if the flickering is present in BIOS most likely you will need to have the system serviced for proper repairs and diagnostics.


I hope this helps.

Have a nice day,

The backlight might be going out.

Laptops do not have a reset button, just a power button which you have to hold down until the laptop turns off and then press it one more time to turn it back on.

hi mmi300, try to press Fn + F5 and check if it works. Pls determine if there is a toggle switch (if it is a laptop) somewhere. Disregard that step if it is a desktop...

Hope this help...

The wireless radio switch is located on the front left of the R400. ( Can sometimes be hard to move ).
