Into your Bios Menu search for Secure Boot if present and Disable It then search for Boot Legacy Bios
and set USB !

Copy the "Modified" folder contents into the stick and boot in DOS mode and
Run Flash.bat to update.

Don't touch Video Settings or Disable Video Card It will Brick laptop !!!

Please post results.
This mod for your PC only!!!

BDMaster u are awesome, I used this tutorial: REQUIRED:
Format Tool , MiniDOS files
Archive here: BOOTABLE FLASH DRIVE.zip

1. Download the above archive
2. Extract it to your desktop
3. Insert your USB flash drive
4. Launch the HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool
5. Give the Flash Drive a name (example: USB FLASH STICK)
6. Check the checkbox for Quick Format
7. Set the File System to the FAT option (Note, if you do not see FAT, reference this post by katalin_2003)
8. Click on 'Create a DOS startup disk', select the radial for 'using DOS system files located at:', click the '...' button and point to the directory (part of the downloaded archive) titled "MiniDOS".
9. Click Start

DONE. from here http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/...os.549378/

and this one https://vimeo.com/70640052 and before i flash the BIOS(Moded one by you) , I long press Power button, turn the laptop press the F2 key when i see the Lenovo Logo and in bios I was amazed i see many tabs unlocked not only advanced one, and i think it will work my new Internet (Wi-Fi) adapter Intel 7260

So next step is: change the wi-fi adapter and put windows 8.1 or 10(still in beta) right ? + drivers from Intel, and my laptop drivers ofcourse.
Umm i have a question, in Bios i see "Turbo Mode", it's the Turbo Mode of intel i5 ? if yes what can i do to overclock(i mean turbo to be activated all the time) and i can have 3.2ghz instead of 2.6 anyway i dont change anything in Bios.

Thank you very much, I will reply again when I will install Windows 8.1(wich is stable and not W10).

Sorry for the doble post,
I flash the Bios, and changed the graphics parameters and now the pc doesn't boot, and I can't access to the Bios. What can I do?

[BDMaster]

Ok try the Recovery Procedure :

- Shutdown the netbook (notebook)
- Remove all peripheral devices
- Remove battery, Remove AC power cord
- Press and hold the power button for 10 seconds (battery and AC power still out), then release
- Put the USB Memory Stick in the USB port
- Hold "Fn" + "Esc" and plug the AC power cord in
- Now press the power button (whilst still holding Fn + Esc).
Wait until the fan will run, then release "Fn" + "Esc" keys
- The fan will run for about 2-10 minutes and the USB drive activity LED will blink
- I think the netbook rebooted automatically. If it doesn't, unplug the AC power cord once the fan has turned off

The bios should be updated with the modified BIOS, and boot as per normal.

This is the Recovery Files to extract and put into the USB Stick Fat32 Formatted :

I did all things you say, but pc reboots again and again, except sometimes that the fan still running, but for a long time and the led on the usb didn´t blink. Is it a brick of the Bios? Is this the only solution or I have to try another method?
I tried this lots of times, with the CMOS removed and with the CMOS plugged after removing it. I formatted the USB stick to FAT 32 and put the .fd file in the root of the USB.

Thanks in advance, if it´s necessary I can record a video doing the steps showing if I´m doing something wrong.
