Have the same problem too - thinking about councelling my lawyer about that since the problem must be known to them for weeks! And the buggy update is still online!!! (Don't come with their stupid exclaimer - in Germany we have paragraph 303b StGB)
Read your suggestion here: http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies-archive.cfm/1456355.html
about the use of file name "bios.fd" - was a nice try - but unfortenately nothing more
Even tried with "bin" and "rom" - didn't even work.
Btw.: In another post I read about "PlatformName" from the ini-file and so I tried it with "NIWE1" and the endings .bin, .fd, .rom and hat no success either.
My next guess is that the ROM file within that package is faulty! So we need an old version to get back to a running state.
So still waiting for customer support callback...
Have a G560 (i5, 4GB RAM) with a stupid partinioned hard disk (was the first thing i changed).
To repeat the warning:

Bios Recovery with Lenovo G560 (Intel i3) Notebook...

Hello community,
i have a big problem. I tried to make a bios update with my G560 notebook within windows 7 (64Bit). After a bluescreen i could not start the pc. I think i bricked my notebooks´s bios. I have seen that there is a emergency bios recovery feature feature. I press Fn+B while i press the power button of my notebook. It tries to read the USB-Stick and then it beeps 3 times.
I think my problem is that i don´t know how i shoud name the bios file. I tried IWE1.fd or IWE1IA32.fd (or *.bin) but iwth no success.....

BIOS recovery, Lenovo G560?

Recived a error messag when I started the BIOS update tool, diden't think the updte whent through but when I later restret the computer I only get a plack screen and som LED's turned on.
I have a Lenovo G560 (0679 and tried to update to BIOS version 38.
I have read that you can flash the BIOS by hold down Fn+R keys and while holding press the power button.
For ths to work I need to rename a rom file and store it on a USB-thumbdrive. But I don't know which rom file to use and what to rename it?

warranty should cover the mainboard replacement if the bios update breaks it. please, call support line again and post back the results if they say the same thing one more time.

Hello everyone!
I am using Lenovo G460, i guess it is not that different from G560 for the purposes of this discussion.
I had the same problem with a blue screen. I changed settings in BIOS from AHCI to Compatible and installed XP. After that I updated BIOS from within the XP, installed all the drivers, including the AHCI driver from Lenovo website.
Then, I go back to BIOS and change settings from Compatible to AHCI, and I get the blue screen again.
Ok, i don't know anything about NCQ and hot swapping, which I read about on wikipedia, and which i suppose are supported by AHCI, but my question is:
Should i now always stay with my settings as Compatible in BIOS and, therefore, never be able to use such features as NCQ and hot swapping? I repeat, that I don't know anything about AHCI or Compatible mode, but I figure that AHCI is better.
Please help me in finding the answer, whether to stay on Compatible and forget about AHCI, or may be there is some way to solve the problem for XP users with AHCI mode.
Thank you very much.

Well, The Intel Integrated graphics is a pain in the rear, because, though is has a maximum memory of ~1694 MB it allots around only 59MB for my gaming requirements.
Is there any way to get more out of this?
I heard G560s also come with NVIDIA® GeForce® G310M 512MB
I mean is there a way to use it? or does my laptop have only the Intel HD?
Is there any way to ugrade the graphics card on it?
And is it possible to upgrade this laptop's RAM to >8GB and processor to i7?
Thank you lenovo, in advance, your services and support has never dissapointed me.

hi g4m3fr34k,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
Lenovo g560 has a configuration with discrete Nvidia.
You can check this G560 datasheet
http://www.lenovo.com/shop/americas/content/pdf/notebooks/Essential/G-Series/G560%20datasheet.pdf
Discrete graphics is an optional feature when ordered, These discrete graphics are soldered to the motherboard
You can send me your Serial number Through Private Message let me check your system config. if it came with an Nvidia. but Normally you can check this under your Device Manager / Display Adapter it should show you two graphics device Intel and Nvidia.
From the same Lenovo Data sheet
Lenovo g560 RAm can be upgraded till 8GB and on the system's Maintenance Manaual
you can see compatible Processors.
and you can check the Manual about proper CPU replacement procedure.
Changing the CPU which contains the Intel HD graphics will possibly change the Intel HD graphics model.
but I believe adding a discrete Nvidia on a non Nvidia motherboard is not possible.

Solid Cruver

Lenovo G560 - Issue with won't boot and black screen after HDD upgrade

Lenovo G560 - Issue with won't boot and black screen after HDD upgrade.
What happen: My laptop was working fine, no blue screen issue, no funny business at all. I bought a new SSD Intel 120 GB and thought it would be a good idea to replace the HDD. I shutdown and disconnected the power adapter, waited a couple of minutes and removed the battery. I opened up the back case and replaced the HDD. And put all the screws back and put the battery back in.
Problem: The very first time I turned the power on, nothing happens besides a black screen. I pressed the dvd drive it works and opens up and closes. I waited for about 30 mins and still has blac screen. When I mean black screen, no bios menu, no logo, just a black screen with the fan sound on.
I have tried these:
1. Unplugged everything - battery, adapter, and pressed the power on button for about 60 seconds, nothing, the laptop turns on with the LED display on for both on and battery LED's. But nothing but black screen, no sound of windows loading just the fan and black screen.
2. I tried putting back my old 2.5" and nothing but black screen.
Thoughts and suggestions?
Solved!

Hi Autoexit173,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
As per the query we understood that you are facing issue with system not booting in your Lenovo G560 laptop.
As you have mentioned that the system not booting, please try to remove the RAM and turn on the system and check if you can hear any beep sound. Also try to clean the RAM slots and check for the issue.
Click here for the steps to remove the RAM and refer page number 40.
Hope this helps. Do post back if issue persists!

Ashwin.S

Lenovo G560 not booting. CPU Fan 100%. No output on screen or VGA

I have a Lenovo G560
When I power on, the fan is steady for the first 5 seconds, then it spins faster and stays like that. No output from the screen at all.
External VGA does not present any output either. HDD doesn't spin and nor does the light turn on. Removed and reseated memory modules as well as HDD. No change.
Purchased a replacement LCD screen as the current one was cracked the when laptop hit the floor! Therefore I'm thinking something's completely screwed the laptop up or is it a case of a loose connection.
Next thing I was going to try was to disconnect the CMOS battery which would hopefully reset the bios - Can anyone shed any light on this? I believe it's under the keyboard and I have the remove the top chassis. I know that it may be soldered on as well...Any advise or help is appreciated.
Thanks, Mitesh

hi mitster,
To access the CMOS battery, you need to remove the keyboard and the top cover. From there, just turn the motherboard over to remove the CMOS battery. (see page 54-57 of the hardware maintenance manual detailed instructions).
If reseating the CMOS battery doesn't give you a display, try to reseat the CPU. If still the same problem, the Intel HD graphics in the processor or the motherboard probably got damaged when the laptop fell into the floor. If you're near a local laptop repair facility, I recommend you take it there to test the motherboard / CPU.
Hope this helps.

Black screen with underscore after updating ubuntu on Lenovo G560

hello everybody, I'm new here. I looked for this problem online during the past few days but I haven't found a solution. I have a Lenovo G560 and I divided my hard drive into two partition, I installed Ubuntu on C:\ and Windows on D:\ and I haven't had any problem, but after updating ubuntu to version 14 my computer couldn't boot anymore. the bios loads and I see the Lenovo icon but then I just get a black screen with an underscore (not a blinking underscore), I tried booting from a bootable USB stick but the same thing happened (I put it as the first device to boot from in BIOS settings). can anyone please tell me what are my other options ? what should I try now ? thanks in advance and have a good day !

Hi s, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
Try this:
Hold down the Option+Command (Apple)PR keys, boot/restart your MBP while continuing to hold down those four keys, and after you hear the startup chime for the second time, release the keys. That should reset your PRAM and resolve the issue.
If the issue persists, while you're booted into Open Firmware, just after the prompt, type in:
reset-nvram
then press return, then type in:
reset-all
and press return. This should restart your MBP and it should go back to starting normally.

Lenovo G560 - WLAN Driver

Hi,
I am looking for the driver on my notebook Lenovo G560.
I reinstalled my OS on Windows 7 and everythink is good, but I dont have chance to connect to my Wifi(802.11)
I downloaded and installed almost all Wireless LAN drivers on this page: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/research/hints-or-tips/detail.page?DocID=HT072731
But still nothink
If you can, send me a download link with driver to enable my WIFI
Thank you

hi Codexik.
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
Possible that the computer is not detecting the Hardware Itself that's why the driver will not install
Try Opening Device manager and check if the Device is there.
With Device Manager open..
Look under Network Adapters, See if you have either Intel, Broadcomm Qualcom or Atheros.
If you don't have any then try looking around device Manager if you have an unknown Device or Network controller with an Exclamation mark.
If yes Try getting the Hardware ID of that device.. here's how.
If still you can't find any of the things mentioned above.
Go to your BIOS:
Turn off you Computer Turn it back on and start hitting F2.
Check under Configuration Tab if you have the Wireless settings Enabled.
Hit F10 to Save and Exit then Try installing this drive
Intel Wireless WiFi Link Driver
or
Wireless LAN Driver
Try Both and one should work.

All of a sudden my keyboard on my Lenovo g560 stops working then suddenly works again. Had this 2 months ago as well, was fixed by format and has been working since then. I really don't want to format again. I have updated BIOS and keyboard driver appears to be the latest version as well. Help?

Ok, a quick update. I unscrewed the screw next to the keyboard icon on the back and screwed it back. It worked for a while then stopped again. Started and stopped about 3 more times

Hi,

i downloaded drivers suggested in other posts:

and some other versions. From year 2010 till latest from 2013.
With every version syptoms are the same - everything looks ok,
in device manager i can see the device, it says it works propperly,
but i cannt enable the connection. It pops enabling connection and just stops.
icon remains grey. My tcp connection works fine.
when i start troubleshooter it finds an problem, cannt find a solution and gives a message -
problem is probably with driver for the device.
I tried reinstalling Energy managment, i dont have any other lenovo software.
