I'm stuck while trying to recover an corrupted EFI / Insyde BIOS. Right now the laptop is in a state, that when the power button is pushed, the computer turns on and immediately off again.
I downloaded a self-extracting archive from Lenovo support. After that I followed the advices from several internet boards and copied the file 65CN99WW.cap
to a FAT32 formatted USB stick with less than 2GB. After that I renamed that file to BIOS.cap
. I then inserted the stick in a completely unpowered (no battery, no AC). Then I held down FN-R
plugged in power again while holding and finally pushed the power button. After that I saw the USB stick blinking for some seconds, which means it has been read. But after some seconds (but a period significantly longer than without the usb stick and any other key combination) the laptop turns off again.
So my question is, if there is some documentation or instructions out there how to recover an EFI / Insyde BIOS on a Lenovo Ideapad U410.
