Lenovo n500 forgot bios password
Hello,
If you forgot your BIOS password,do not worry, you can reset your system back without requesting a BIOS password,Simply unscrew your laptop and get the motherboard of your laptop, locate the CMOS battery on the motherboard and remove for sometime for the battery to discharge say 4-10minutes,or better still if you can locate the jumpers for the BIOS and reset it,the BIOS password will be removed.It is the battery that keeps the BIOS chip alive by suppling it power,if power is not supplied to this chip,then the information on it will be lost.
So, remove the battery for some minutes or reset your BIOS jumper on the motherboard
WISH YOU THE BEST.
Lenovo n500 laptop ... mouse pad not working
The mouse pad maybe faulty or the ribbon cable from the mouse pad to the motherboard may not be properly connected. Reseat this cable.
You can connect an USB optical mouse to the laptop. I prefer you use a USB mouse all the time over the mouse pad.

Battery not charging
Either your charger is not working or your battery is worn out. Had same prob. with my Acer 5532. After pricing a new one from Acer, I looked on Ebay and found a replacement with 12 month guarantee for a third of the price, so I bought the one off Ebay. Working fine!!!
