Flex 15D errored within an hour of purchase with winload.efi

I unboxed my new Flex 15D an hour ago, very pleased with it, until it rebooted to install windows 8.1 updates.
When it rebooted I ended up at a blue screen saying that the file \windows\system32\winload.efi is missing.
Enter just loops back to the error, F8 flashes the screen and takes me back to the error.
Can anyone help?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I would do a few things.
1. Go into the bios and enable legacy mode + disable safe boot
2. If that fails, use a windows 8.1 DVD image to "repair startup" (part of the advance options, before installation proceeds).
3. If that fails, then use the OKR system and try to update to Windows 8.1 again, before you load your personal files/programs. Since you got 1 hour run-time on it, I doubt you have much on the laptop. Hence, this might be your best and quickest option.
4. Or you can wait for a Lenovo Support Specialist to respond. lmao ,,,, They might have something better than the above lol.

  • Flex compilation error after adding an additional output port to a query

    Hello,
    I need to add an additional output port to a query in order to dynamically filter some results. Our version of VC 7.0 (SP16) doesn't support filter components with access to store data.
    Just when we add an extra output port to the query and deploy it we run into a flex compilation error.
    Has somebody come along with that?
    Kind regards
    Stefan

    Hi
    Why exactly you want another output port. With same output port you can drag multiple filters & restrict the output.
    Creation of second output port is not required.
    If first way is not suitable in your case, then you add that query twice (or multiple times) & pass the same input parameters.
    If still it is not serving the purpose then please elaborate your requirement as what dynamic filter you want.
    Regards

  • The embedded controller (EC) did not respond within the specified timeout period - Flex 15D

    Hello,
    I have an IdeaPad Flex 15D, and I have had several problems (mostly processor-related) in the time I have been using it. I contacted Customer Support twice, and finally did a system reset a few days ago after being told by Lenovo Support that my choices for fixing the problem were 1) Reset, or 2) Pay for a premium service to diagnose the problem. Needless to say (again), I went with option 1. So far I have not had any noticible problems with the processors, but there is a certain error showing up in the Event Viewer that I am concerned about. Lenovo Support has been next-to-useless troubleshooting my problems thus far, so I'm taking them here. The error is as follows:
    (Event ID 13)
    The embedded controller (EC) did not respond within the specified timeout period. This may indicate that there is an error in the EC hardware or firmware or that the BIOS is accessing the EC incorrectly. You should check with your computer manufacturer for an upgraded BIOS. In some situations, this error may cause the computer to function incorrectly.
    Sounds like the BIOS needs an update, right? Well, I went straight to the Flex 15D drivers page, and guess what? I quote the drivers page: Bios update is not required for this product. Not required? So, Lenovo ships a broken BIOS and then refuses to support it? I don't know if Lenovo employees ever read this forum, so this might not be the best way to get their attention, but I am so fed up with Customer Support and I want this issue to be known to more than just a few unhelpful 'tech support' people. The Flex 15D isn't one of the more popular laptops out there, so I can't expect anyone reading this to be able to duplicate this problem or really provide any support, but if you have any suggestions whatsover, please reply to this thread. Like I said, I want people to know, and hopefully we can get Lenovo's attention so they can fix this problem.
    Best regards,

    Hi,
    I understand that you get the error message when performing a full crawl. I have seen similar cases caused by IE proxy settings. You can try to edit the Internet Options>Connections>LAN settings. Uncheck ‘Automatically detect settings’.
    For more information, please refer to this site:

  • Lenovo Ideapad flex 15d computer power issues

    My Ideapad Flex recently developed two issues.
    Problem 1: When the computer goes to sleep (via start menu, closing the lid, or being inactive) the hardware turns off completely. In Windows 8.1's event viewer there are two errors that state that power failed unexpectedly.
    This has occured with the power adapter connected, and without. It also occured for Ubuntu 14.04.
    Problem 2: The computer (when powered down) only occasionally responds to the power button, and fails to boot when it does. I have found a temporary workaround - resetting the BIOS - however that only works one time per reset.

    I just purchased a flex 15D a noticed that upon start up, there's lighting behind the keyboard, and (being new to PC laptops) it took me two nights to figure out that the only way to turn it on is Fn+space.

  • I have just updated my 4s to IOS7. and now my battery discharge is significantly increase. With my Iphone fully charged, the battery run out within 6 hours without using the phone at all. Would it be possible to get the IOS 6.1.3 back to my 4S?

    Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I have tried as you suggested, and when opening the "purchased" apps some have the icloud logo next to them, but I only have "OPEN" against "Find My iPhone". When opening it up, it goes through the same routine; needs to be updated before proceeding, and wouldn't update because I don't have IOS8.
    Anything else I could try, or am I doomed!
    All of your help is much appreciated, thanks

    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • "Ships within 24 hours."

    So if I was to purchase an iPod Touch from the Apple store within the next few hours, does this mean it should get here tomorrow? Or, possibly, Monday at the latest?
    Or does that mean it ships within 24 hours AFTER they process the order-- meaning it could take a week to process, and then 24 hours after that week to get to my house?

    It usually means that it will go to the carrier within 24 hours, but that doesn't always happen. Plus there's the shipping time. So it won't arrive tomorrow, and probably will not arrive Monday. If you really need it soon, you might instead want to consider buying from Amazon or one of the other vendors that has expedited shipping options. Amazon says they have both the 8GB and 16GB in stock and can deliver by Monday if you order in the next few hours and choose one-day shipping.

    Has it been 24 hours?
    I take it this was a gift card.  iTunes Store:  Invalid, Inactive, or Illegible codes http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1292 - gift cards
    I don't know if this provides an alternative means: https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'iTunes' in the first column; 'iTunes Store' in the second column
    If you are really desperate you could buy the app yourself, then request reimbursement.

You can download past purchases on the computer with just one apple ID every 90 days. This computer can be used with a different Apple ID in 75 days." WHAT??
    I've never had problems before - my husband and I have used the same library for years.  My daughter also has her own Apple ID... are we going to have trouble with that, too?  Actually we have 4 Apple IDs - somewhere around 8 Apple devices... this is a huge issue for us... HELP

    Just to be clear - I just bought a new song and can't download it into the library because of this error message.
