I have a Lenovo g480 laptop its specs:
I5-3210m, 8GB ram, NVidia gt610m, Samsung Evo 870 SSD, 650gb HDD
For over one year I am not able to enter BIOS, I used to enter it by pressing F2 during startup but now I can't, I tried to enter it through nova button and select BIOS setup but it continues to the normal boot, or by entering boot menu when I press tab there was an option for BIOS but it disappears and when I try to restart to it from Windows it just boots to boot menu and nothing else
I tried to boot without harddisk and removed CMOS battery but there was no difference
I tried to update BIOS the official bios says that I am on the latest version
Yesterday, I tried to flash it by putting the bios file.cap
- the same version I am on with version number (62cn97ww
) and formatted the USB FAT32 type and turned off the laptop then pressing Fn + R. It flashed the BIOS and said flashed successfully but there is no the difference the only difference is that the BIOS setting has been reset and I know that from the clock and secure boot becomes enabled and I disabled it before
I tried to flash an older version as 62cn44ww
it comes with extension .wph
with the same method above or using wincrisis
but it doesn't load
I tried winflash with different version and it doesn't want to flash it with error message:
Corrupted interface descriptors in the new BIOS file. Part Table Signature not found in the Interface. Error code: -161
Even with the same bios that is flashed successfully by the usb method
So now that is the solution of this problems I have been two years with that problem and when I want to edit boot setting or anything I have to do it manually by using easybcd
or any other similar program
I am sorry if the question is too long but I wanted to say all the details to have a better help
Thanks in advance
