Re: Y580: Cannot access to BIOS
Hello there,
I got some issues here with my Lenovo IdeaPad Y580.
I was about to give it a new clean installation of Windows 8.1.
Finished, it didn't recognize the HDD I installed it on. So I tried to change the boot priority in the BIOS but it seems like I messed up pretty bad.
When I start the laptop now it says:
"check cable connection! PXE - MOF: exiting intel PXE ROM"
It seems like it tries to boot from a server now, as I read in other forums.
Excuse my dangerous half knowledge, I am no expert at all.
So the bad thing is that my laptop is stuck in that loop, it would restart and the same message appears.
I can't enter the BIOS, I tried F1, F2, FN+F2, F12.
I read about it in other forums and posts, I took out the HDD and the SSD, pressed B while starting the laptop.
I took out the battery pack, held the power button for a minute.
I even dissembled the whole laptop to remove the battery of the motherboard, just to figure out it's not possible to remove the battery on that particular motherboard.
So yeah, I tried everything I could find online and I don't know what else to do.
Maybe try and external keyboard? But the keyboard seems to work, as when I hit fn+f2 the screen goes black, which is the appropriate shortcut.
Can anyone of you help me out? I don't know what else to do. I appreciate any help and comments.
Thank you!
