My new lenovo laptop has a problematic internal wireless card? help please?

my new lenovo laptop has a problematic internal wireless card? help please?
Ok, so I recently purchased a new lenovo 3000 C200 laptop from Tigerdirect with Vista already installed, and it was working great. But now i have a problem connecting to the wireless internet in my house. I ran a diagnostic and it said that my wireless card had an internal error. How can i solve this and do I have to reinstall Vista?

Lenovo G560 laptop

Video Card Upgrade in a Lenovo laptop?
I have a lenovo G560 laptop. I completely love it except for the graphics card. The windows experience score would be at 4.8 if it weren't for the video card dragging it down to 3.4. I was wondering if the card is permanently in place like other laptops, or if it could be removed by a little work. It is an Intel model with a Pentium P6200 processor. It's only about 3 months old.

Unfortunately not. You have an integrated graphics chip.

Laptop is DLU-0768

Lenovo Laptop neither running on Battery supply nor the battery is getting charged?
Laptop is DLU-0768. It works fine with the direct power supply. The battery LED will glow for about 5 secs during booting/plug in the power cord. When the direct power supply is switched, it will bring down the laptop immediately. When checked for the battery resource in Power Management about 87% of power is still remaining. But, slowly it is reducing. I have tried the following things, 1. Re-installed the battery. 2.Re- booted the laptop. 3. Cleaned the battery connecting points.

How do I erase everything on a lenovo laptop that doesn't have a disk drive?

How do I erase everything on a lenovo laptop that doesn't have a disk drive?
The laptop isn't opening any programs because it keeps on saying that their is a malicious threat and when I try to uninstall the program that is causing the problem it won't let me. The laptop doesn't have a security protection and I can't download one because the threats won't let me surf the web. That's why I completely want to delete everything on the laptop I don't care if I lose all the programs.

Try this. start the computer in safe mode with net working. (see below for how to) open internet explorer. click on the Tools menu and then select Internet Options Now click on the Connections tab Now click on the Lan Settings button Under the Proxy Server section, uncheck the checkbox labeled Use a proxy server for your LAN. Then press the OK button to close this screen. Then press the OK button to close the Internet Options screen. Now that you have disabled the proxy server you should be able to browse the web again with Internet Explorer. COME BACK TO HERE (on the infected computer). (still in safe mode with networking) the .exe file associations are probably going to be destroyed so download this first you will need it later. Fix .exe : http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/reg/antivirus-vista-2010/FixExe.reg Now get malwarebytes here, this is a direct download link so you should have no trouble getting it. click on this link ↓ and then select run. http://www.malwarebytes.org/affiliates/2-spyware/mbam-setup.exe INSTALL IT TO YOUR DESKTOP, update it, then run a full scan and remove everything it finds. Now install the Fix.exe registry entry you downloaded earlier. Now do this online scan. to make sure you have nothing else hiding away. http://www.eset.com/onlinescan/ preferably still in safe mode with networking. (if malwarebytes will not start up, install the fix.exe first) .......................................................................................... How to Start Computer in Safe Mode with Networking. 1. During BootUp process Press F8 continuously until selection appears. 2. Use Arrow Up+Down to select SafeMode with Networking on the selections menu. 3. Hit Enter to proceed. .

When you say it "doesn't have a disk drive" I assume you mean no CD drive? It has to have a hard disk or SSD, otherwise what are you booting up from? In any event, running the system recovery program would reformat and reinstall the operating system clean. You'd shut the laptop off completely,remove the battery for about 10 seconds, reinsert the battery and restart the computer. During the initial boot sequence (before Windows loads) you would see BIOS messages about hitting a specific key to run the recovery program. Hit that key and follow the prompts to reinstall your OS from scratch.

On boot up (before Windows loads) press the F11 key for a few seconds to start the Recovery Program and follow on-screen prompts. ***This will erase all your unsaved data!*** © arou42
