Hey Guys,
here is my problem.
A friend of mine has a Laptop, the Lenovo U310 to be specific, which gave him a BSOD everytime he tried to boot it up, se he gave it to me.
I tried out a few things but wasnt able to fix it so i just tried to reinstall Windows 8, and wiped the data from the disk (he was ok with formating the disk). So I booted up a bootable pen drive with win 8 and installed it as usual. After It copied everything from the pen drive to the hard drive and tried to restart, its basically dead. Once pressing the power button, you only get a blackscreen with nothing happening at all and no possibility to get into the bios, even bootable pen drives dont boot. After some googling I found out the Bios is stored on Disk - so i overrid it with the formating.
I downloaded the original U310 Bios.wph file and tried to make a recovery pen drive with wincrisis.exe and the tutorial provided on this board, however after inserting the pen drive and starting the notebook with FN+R (custom shortcut for bios flashing by lenovo) it reads from the pen drive for about 3-5 seconds. After that time, it just sort of crashes and reboots with nothing changed.
My guess is im doing something terribly wrong with the pen drive? My steps are:
-start wincrisis as administrator in XP sp3 compatiblity
-press start
-reinsert the usb stick
-press start again
-remove usb stick and exit wincrisis
-replug usb and copy the original bios.wph + phlash16 and minidos to the pen drive
-plug the usb into the notebook
-press FN+R and dont let go
-press power button
Thanks in advance
