    A: If the diagnostic test showed your Hard Drive to be healthy, or if you were unable to run the diagnostic test, your next step would be to try an install Windows.

    So after a windows update, I started boot looping on my old x1 carbon. Tried changing boot mode in bios. Time is right. I cannot boot to USB to install a new os. I tried factory resetting bios. Nothing. Should I try flashing the bios? I'm hesitant to go that option cause I can only mount the iso to a CD as it's not showing as bootable media in Rufus. Or is it a motherboard issue. Only thing I haven't tried is the cmos battery as I don't want to tear the laptop apart.

    • @PC_Monkey
      @PC_Monkey  Рік тому

      First step would be to reseat the HDD. Sounds like you have with no luck. If there are any HDD Cables or other smaller boards that the HDD connects to before the motherboard, reseat those as well. If still no luck, your most likely looking at a HDD issue or Motherboard issue. Replace the HDD first and install an operating system to the new one. You can get help with that with other video links in the description of this video. If that fails to help, your may need to replace the damaged motherboard at that point :(

    Hi Pc Monkey, I was stuck on boot loop on my Legion 5 Pro, the bios doesn’t have any change in Boot settings even if i disable safe setup mode, also the diagnostic setep provided by the company only gives option to choose bios settings or boot menu- which has windows and some Network boot option. Nothing was working since I couldn’t even reach automatic repairs before it crashes on booting screen and restarts. By some miracle my windows has booted now and is working fine but I’m scared of even shutting down my pc since this process wasted 2hrs of mine. What should i do now to fix this soo as it doesn’t happen again?? Since my windows is loaded and everything working fine i dont think it’s a hardware issue rather maybe my windows is corrupted?

      Well, maybe I didn't explain it well enough, my bad. What I meant is that when the "Lenovo" finally appears, there seems to be no way to turn the diagnostics on, there is no response. Only boot menu shows up right afterwards. And yes it could be overheating before. I left a game on and left the room for some time so I'm not sure what went on but often games in general are treating my pc quite harshly 😅

      No, nothing happened prior too. As a matter of fact, I used the flimsy keypad cover. I keep my little lenovo on the couch overnight. A couple mornings ago I started it up like I always do and I saw the blue screen that said your pc ran into some issues and needs to restart. I forcefully restarted it since the screen seemed to be stuck for sometime on that same screen, and thats when I ran into the boot menu. So I followed the steps to switch the boot priority to the opposite, for me it was legacy and instead of getting the boot menu, I did get as far as the lenovo logo unlike before, but now it just loops to the boot menu. So I found this update video and clicked your affiliate link for the anti static mat. Im in the process of removing the back of my Lenovo think pad, but the back won’t come off. I have an iFix it kit I bought from best buy awhile ago and while the screws around the border came off, Im not sure but I think the smaller ones that you cant see, if there are any screws in those holes at all because I cant tell, are stuck in. Im presently trying out the different screw tips to see if anything starts to unscrew. Im hoping that after I try to reseat the hard drive its good. But still trying to get the back off the computer.

    I have a Lenovo x1 carbon that is booting. The windows logo appears and as soon as it stops loading, my screen turns black. Upon connecting my laptop to a screen (tv or monitor) it boots properly and i'm able to navigate and use the computer no problem. I can get the screen to work on its own at times by hard reseting it (holding power button for 20sec or closing the lid and opening it again a bunch of times). It is not a problem if i keep the laptop powered up and connected to an outlet 100% of the time. it becomes a problem when the laptop goes iddle for a long period of time or when the battery runs out. I'm using windows 10 and all my updates and drivers are up to date. I have played with the BIOS setting nothing outside the norm. I'm suspecting a software issue... I attempted a fresh install of windows 10 twice and windows 11 twice. Same problem... HELP

    @PC_Monkey Thanks for your video. Unfortunately, I've tried all the options and my lenovo t570 won't boot... anything. After an automatic windows 10 update ran itself through a couple of bluescreens, the thing wont boot (once the OS starts loading, it just keeps saying "Windows could not complete the installation..."), so i went ahead and downloaded Ubuntu on a USB and tried to boot the installation. But that didn't work either! Tried a different linux installation, tried different usb ports, nothing. If you've any ideas or tips, would be greatly appreciated!

You would turn your computer off immediately by pressing and holding the power button until the computer turns off. Then you would disassemble the computer as much as your comfortable with, at least trying to remove the bottom case. Then you would turn it on its side and let dry for a couple days. Have you done this yet or are you sure the computer is dry?
