How to enter BIOS crisis recovery mode on x120e?

What combination of keys must be pressed? Fn+F? Fn+B? Other?

Hi provaleriy,
simply hit F1, after pressing power button or while watching the Lenovo boot screen.

  • How to trigger the BIOS CRISIS Recovery mode for Thinkpad T61.

     For any other laptop, there's a possibility to run a BIOS crisis recovery, by holding Win-B or Fn-B and a few other conditions, one can make the laptop to boot up from a USB floppy drive and restore BIOS even if it's not working. But it seems that it doesn't work for ThinkPads, or I don't know to trigger the mode.
    Thank you in advance.

    Your post was very helpful. It did the trick. The photos of the screens and etc. helped.
    I am using a Toshiba laptop that came with Winddows 8.1 (64bit), which allegedly supports UEFI boot.
    Initially, the boot failed and after trying different settings I recalled a statement that not all USBs work the same and results may vary. I tried another USB and your selections worke perfect. 
    I did not revert the BIOS settings and the machine boots properly to the normal login.
    My need for a bootable USB is to boot the laptop if the hard drive fails. This allows to either re-image it or replace the hard drive and for re-image it. The key is the bootable media.
    Thanks for your effort..!

  • How to get into CRISIS RECOVERY mode to reflash BIOS?

    Hi..
    I have a ProBook 4710s andmy BIOS is bricked, blank screen with flashing capslock, which means Authentication BIOS (failed).
    And I can't find the key combinations to put my notebook into the crisis recovery mode to reflash the BIOS.
    Does anybody know the combination???  (I've tried <Win>+ <B>, <Func>+<B>, <Win>+<Esc>, <Func>+<Esc>... and nothing)
    HELP!!!! PLEASE!!!

    I found the document confirming this, see bios authentication failure on this page

  • P200 bios crash how to use the crisis recovery mode?

    Hello!
    I've got a problem with my Toshiba P200 laptop (PSPBOE). De laptop doesn't boot anymore, only when i press fn+B which means he boots in to crisis recovery mode. But now you have to create a disk with phlash16 + a bios.wph file. But i don't know which one i have tried 16 different versions of phlash16.exe with the usb fdd which he does read.
    I've used this bios file:
    http://be.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?LNG=10&service=BE
    Anybody who can tell me what im doing wrong?

    It sounds like you have a Toshiba Europe model.  I would recomend you contact them or use the European forums.  I have not heard of a Fn+B function for the American models.  And it sounds like the BIOS flash procedure is different as well.

    I have tried to update the BIOS for this motherboard and since doing this it is not possible to change the sata controller mode from RAID to anything ese - it will not save the settings.
    I have replaced the CMOS battery and changed the CMOS jumper but nothing has worked. Can anyone provide the original BIOS file so I can try and re-flash it?
    Or does anyone have any other suggestion?
    Many thanks

  • How to enter BIOS settings on Equium L10?

    Please can someone tell me what button i press too get into the bios setup at the start when i switch my pc on cos i have tried every thing, but nothing works.

    Hello
    Every time when you switch the notebook ON you can see at the bottom left hand site the short instruction how to enter BIOS settings. In your case you must use F2 button. Please keep it down immediately after switching the notebook ON.
    Generally the Toshiba notebooks are delivered with two different BIOS versions (BIOS producer):
    - TOSHIBA BIOS: enter using ESC and F1 button
    - Phoenix BIOS: enter using F2 button.
    According the specification your unit has Phoenix BIOS.

    Hi.
    Have you read the User Manual? I think it will be somewhere in the book. However, for this gen, you can access BIOS by F2 and boot up list with F12
