IdeaPad U310 touch: Can no longer enter bios after updating to latest version

I flashed to the latest U310 bios (http://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles/65cn99ww.exe). I switched to "legacy boot mode" (from UEFI), in an attempt to workaround a driver issue. Now, I'm no longer able to enter BIOS whatsoever. There are plenty of forum posts by many users hitting the same or similar issues on U310/U410/U330 and similar ideapad products. But the resolutions where they exists are either invalid, or involve flashing to 65cn99ww.exe, which is not possible.
[Environment]
Lenovo IdeaPad U310 touch, Windows 8 (also tried Windows 8.1)
[What I did]
Flashed BIOS using official Lenovo bits (65cn99ww.exe). No errors occured
Enter BIOS afterwards and change to legacy boot mode (from UEFI)
[Problem]
Cannot enter BIOS to view or change any settings.
[Debugging]
Try to enter BIOS by key button sequence.
1. Tried the following combinations during bootup: F2, Fn+Fn, F10, Fn+F10, F1, Fn+F1, 'B', 'N', Fn+'B', Fn+'N', Delete, Esc.
==> No change in behaviour. I tried each many times in case the timing is important.
2. Boot by Novo button. This brings up a menu, which includes an entry to enter BIOS. However, choosing that menu entry boots to Windows
3. Reboot to UEFI firmware settings from Windows (Settings/General/Advanced/UEFI). I can choose to boot to UEFI settings, but ultimately, just boots to Windows 8.
4. Try to reflash BIOS. Fails with error 182: Version less than or equal. So reflash fails
5. Try to reflash old BIOS. Flashing fails
6. Unplug battery from motherboard for 1 minute. No difference in behavior
7. Boot with SATA disconnected.
8. Try various flashing options and alternate ways to flash. Not successful
[Conclusion - BIOS is faulty]
I think this problem can be solved easily with a slightly newer variant of the BIOS being officially released by Lenovo. If someone from Lenovo is reading, can you please open an internal case on this.
Otherwise, I'm open to suggestions from the community. Does anyone know how I can hex edit the bios version #.
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

All,
When I navigate to the U310T (touch) on the support site, I'm not finding a BIOS update.
It may be that we have removed it. The U310 (non-touch) does still show BIOS 65 available here for Windows 8/8.1 and BIOS 21 on the same page for Windows 7.
Is it possible that you have a touch model and applied the non-touch BIOS?

Can no longer sync iPad2 after updating to ios7

When I looked for upgrades for my apps there was the ios7, asking me if I wanted to upgrade and I wish I hadn't. I lost all email function on my ipad, and it erased all previous emails stored on there. I can no longer sync my iPad, since my computer is an older iMac with version 10.5.8 OSX and is not linked to iCloud so now I cannot backup NOR sync my iPad. I am very ******. Does anyone know how to dump ios7 off the ipad and go back to ios6? OR how to fix any of these problems without me buying a new iMac? I cannot upgrade my iMac to the latest OS, it's too old. Thanks for ANY help. ANYTHING would be appreciated.

MSI GE70 2OE Can't get into bios after update

Hello
I had some problems with the intel turbo boost not working properly so I updated my bios with the new version from 2013-09-03. After this update the intel turbo boost works fine but since I can't access my bios anymore. Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks

Problem solved. It seems that after the update you have less time to press delete to enter the bios.

Can no longer browse network after updates

I finally got the Migration from SBS 2003 to Server 2012R2 standard finished but after updates I can no longer browse network from the server, it was working fine before the 52 updates went on.
I have checked computer browser is running, DNS is working, check FDRP is running.
Have Googled many articles regarding this and tried a lot of the solutions to no avail.

Hi,
On current situation, please also refer to following steps and check something more.
1. Please check if NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled.
2. Please temporarily disable Firewall and monitor the result.
3.
àI have checked computer browser is running
Please temporarily stop Computer Browser service and then re-start it. Any difference?
4. Please follow the path: Control Panel-> Network and Sharing Center-> Change advanced sharing settings, then check if turn on
Network discovery and File and printer sharing.
Meanwhile, would you please run
net view command and let me know the result? (Please hide all protected or private information.)
If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.

Can't sync music after updating to latest version of itunes.

everything syncs but my music after upgrade. songs only show up in icloud and are not synced when i connect my ipod touch to my pc. how can i fix this?

After upgrading to 4.0b5 today, my sound is acting very strange also.
I run my audio out via the headphone jack, and now when FireFox should be playing a sound - suddenly the audio is routed through the computer speakers for a second and then it switches back to the headphones.
Everything is playing through the headphones fine, but when FireFox has audio to play - it routes it through the computer speakers instead and then toggles back over to the headphones.
Note - the FIREFOX sounds do NOT play when this happens, but any audio im playing on the computer other than with FireFox DOES play when it switches back and forth between the computer speakers and the headphone jack.
As others have mentioned I also got that error message after updating that said 'Alert' and something about a process that could not be completed, or something to that effect. I searched the message earlier and it said there was an fix in the works for it already - I hope the fix for whatever that was will fix this funky audio problem.

After updating to latest version of Java (7.10) it no longer works and JRE has disappeared from my plugins list

On checking my add-ons and plugins I attempted to update Java Run Time to latest version as firefox said it was outdated.
I tried installing new version JRE 7.10 manually and through firefox (which said the installation was successful). When testing it, I get told that Java is not working and that a plug in is missing. Can not check whether the new plugin is enabled as JRE has disappeared from the plugins tab (Only Deployment Toolkit appears).
The Java control console says that it was successfully installed in all browsesr. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Java 3 times and keep getting the same result. Java is working fine on chrome and IE so problem must be with FF.

i have already tried installing the offline version but Java SE7U10 does not show in the add-ons menu and Java doesn't work

After updating to latest version of itunes i get error -3212 when trying to connect to itunes store, says not connected to internet. But internet status is ok and can use browser

just updated to the latest version of itunes for windows. i can't stream any of my radio stations and when i try to connect to the itunes store i get an error -3212 message saying i'm not connect to the internet, yet my browser works and my wireless status is ok.

I also had this issue when one day itunes stopped working for me on windows 8...
the error message I received first was: C:Programme files\common files\Apple\Apple Push service.dll is either not designed to run on windows or contains an error.
followed by: ITunes not installed Error 7 (Windows error 193)
Your response addressed how to fix this issue with earlier windows operating systems, but not for windows 8, so what ended up working for me was your advice applied a little differently. For anyone running windows 8 needing to know how to resolve this issue by repairing the Apple Application Support program, try following these simple steps - what a relief it was to have itunes working again after applying b noir's answer to the windows 8 operating system!
1. Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap Settings, and then tap Control Panel.
(If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, click Settings, and then click Control Panel.)
2. Click the Programs and Features icon.
3. In the list of programs and features, find the Apple Application Support feature and click to select it.
4. In the gray title bar above it, click Repair.
5. Approve the window prompts that follow until the repair has been completed.
6. Relaunch iTunes.
Hope this helps & good luck!

Can no longer use SMS after update to IOS 8.2

what at happened with the update to SMS messages on the iPad?
I was able to use SMS as well as iMessage on my iPad until I updated it to 8.2. Now I cannot use SMS at all. In settings -messages, there is no longer a toggle for "send as SMS" on/off as there used to be and as there still is on my iPhone after the update. There is also no longer a toggle for "MMS" Messaging nor Group messaging.
As I said, my iPhone is fine after the update.

IN your iPhone go to settings-messages-text mmessage forwarding. Tap on that and tap on the green toggle to turn it off.
THen go go back out of setting and then go back in and repeat the steps again and turn that option to forward text messages back on.
you will then get a message to put in a code that appears on your iPad. Look at your iPad and the message will be there with the code that you need to put in your phone.
ENter er that code in your phone and it should work.
THe he only thing is that I don't remember if I turned my phone off and then back on after I turned the setting off and then back on again before I turned that text forward setting back to on. So if the above does not work then try turning your phone off and then back on in between.
I Hope this fixes it for you. Let me know!

Almost everything I do whether send an email or load a webpage it takes a very long time since I updated the latest version of Firefox; what can I do?

I updated to Firefox 14.0.1; my Operating System is Windows Vista on my Compaq Presario C700. I have taken it to the computer repair shop and they said they found a Trojan and removed it. It was still operating VERY slowly, so I took it back in. They said they could not find anything more. I removed MANY of my desktop icons and eliminated some of the programs from my start up menu. It is still taking up to 5 minutes to load some pages even just send an email!

Applications can no longer play audio after update | VAIO VPCCW21FX

I'll make this as quick, clean, and to the point as possible. Also, please forgive me because I haven't used Arch in over 3 years, so a lot of things are different.
- I am on a Sony VAIO VPCCW21FX.
- I installed using the AUI script (which is absolutely wonderful, I might add).
- I am using Gnome 3 as my desktop environment.
- I can hear system sounds out of my speakers and headphones, but no applications appear to produce sound.
- This started a couple of days ago after a system update.
- ALSA and Pulse seem to be set up properly.
- Alsamixer shows my sound card and allows me to configure output/input.
- PulseAudio Volume Control also shows my card, and allows me to configure output/input.
- Gstreamer and it's dependencies and codecs are installed.
- Mplayer and it's dependencies and codecs are installed.
Here is the output of lspci -v | grep -A7 -i "audio":

And yes, the CLI speaker test that plays white noise works.
It seems to be a codec issue to me, but I have no idea what codecs would be conflicting with each other. If anyone knows of a remedy, or can point me in a general direction, I would be very grateful. Thank you.

Ideapad u310 touch, removed screen now computer doesn't work

I recently removed the screen from my ideapad u310 touch, hoping to connect it to a usb monitor to use as the primary display (or to my android tablet for portability). The hinge for the original screen broke and the screen started cracking so I couldn't close the screen anymore. Other than that the computer was working perfectly. Once I removed the screen and put the computer back together, I connected it to my tv using an hdmi cable. But now when I turn on the computer all I get is a green screen on the tv. Is the lcd laptop screen vital to the computer functionning or did I perhaps not connect all of the cabkes correctly when I put everything back together?

Welcome to the Lenovo Community !
I have never tried this with your model, but it can work on some laptops. Unless someone visiting this message thread has already done it and shares their experience I am afraid you will have to do a little experimenting. I would disassemble the laptop and plug in the original LCD display and then do the HDMI connection to the TV. See if the TV now has the proper image instead of green. If it does then power everything down and disconnect the LCD laptop display. When powered back up then see if the green reappears on the TV. If it does then try just having the video cable to the laptop screen connected without the laptop's LCD screen connected on the other end and try again.
