Lenovo Ideapad Y510p Blue Screened - Won't even reset??

Hi all,
I have had my Lenovo for a little over a year. It suddenly decided to direct me to a troubleshooting blue screen (with options such as refresh and reset) if I try turning it on (It's labeled by the computer as automatic system repair.). All the options on troubleshooting, such as refreshing, resetting, or performing a system restore, are not allowing me to use them.
I tried using the button near the charger to access the system restore and set it to its factory settings (with OneKey Recovery) but if I try turning it on, it still redirects to the automatic system repair and the blue screen. It is a month past warranty, so Lenovo is asking me for $99++ and 7+ business days to restore to factory settings.
must be an easier way? I have all my files on Carbonite, so I really just need to get to the factory setting. Could anyone help me with some ideas? I really need this computer for work. It used Windows 8, which is what it initially came with.
Thank you, and take care!!

Hi ArChLinuxOS. Thanks for your response!
I ordered some installation media from Lenovo. I realize that the menu I kept being redirected to is called the boot options menu. It has a lot of options, but I can't access any. I'm hoping that I can get it booted using it, but so far, it has not been allowing me to reset to factory settings.

  • Problems with Lenovo Ideapad y510p

    Hi, I got my new Lenovo Ideapad y510p for a month ago, and  three weeks after it started acting wierd by having a slow startup and sometimes it just had black screen when it was starting up. Sometimes I have to hold down the  power and try several times to turn on the computer. When it do start up, at the begining (after the lenovo logo) it makes some black screen switching (not sure if it correct way to describe it), and then it take ages for it to get on the login screen, and get on desktop, its like it doesn't have an SDD. Any help?  
    Solved!

    Hi Zenadbeg,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    I’m sorry to hear that your Y510p laptop is not working as expected and takes long time to boot into Windows, below are the steps to check and resolve the issue in the computer:
    Remove the battery and any other peripheral device connected to the computer.
    Hold the power button for 10-15 seconds and then connect only the AC Adapter and try to turn ON the computer.
    If the issue persists even after performing Flee Power then resetting BIOS to its defaults should resolve the issue
    To access the BIOS menu click the NOVO button which at the left-hand side of the computer next to AC power adapter jack.
    Then to reset the BIOS to its defaults click on “F9” Key and select YES.
    Now Click on “F10” Key to safe the changes that are done in BIOS, restart the computer and check if the issue is resolved.
    Hope this helps!!!
    Do post us back if the issue persists.
    Best Regards
    Shiva Kumar

  • BLUE SCREEN WON"T GO AWAY ON STARTUP

    When I turn on my iMac, the blue screen won't go away so I can't enter my login. Does anybody knows what's happening? What can I do to fix it?

    Uninstall Windows.
    Seriously though, how long has it been on? I had the blue screen take 30 minutes once. Usually when it doesn't happen quick" though, I just force it to power off then back on. So far, that always works. Can't comment about whether I'm doing any damage though (though I've been doing it with PC's for over a decade )

  • Ideapad S206: Blue screen crashes and weird noise

    Hi guys,
    Since Xmas I have had an Ideapad S206. I'm having problems with it and am not sure what is causing them. 
    The machine frequently crashes - I've seen the Blue Screen of Death at least once a week, sometimes several times a day. I'm never doing much with the machine - just online, and with a few programs open (word processing mainly) and iTunes.
    Sometimes, it crashes without me doing anything at all - I leave the room, come back 5 minutes later and tells me there has been a blue screen crash.
    Several times, when the blue screen comes up, it makes a terrible noise like a pneumatic drill/piledriver. I've never heard a laptop make a noise like it.
    Can anyone advise what the problem is? Should I contact Lenovo and try and send the machine back for a refund? (It's over its 30 day warranty.)
    Thanks in advance.

    can you share the error code here?
    Cheers and regards,

  • Lenovo Ideapad U410 - no screen output or black screen, and just out of warranty

    My kid has been using this laptop and loved it, but mentioned a while ago it was difficult to power it back on after turnned it off. However she managed to work around by putting it in hibernate/sleeping mode only, or recycling the system many times (by holding on power button to force it off). The issue was black screen (no Lenovo logo) but computer was on. I didn't pay much attention because she can still make it work, and I was too busy. Last week, there was a windows update (again) and the computer was forced recycle. It never comes back alive again. The same, computer is humming, but no any visual output on screen, just black. Tried novo button, bootable USB, external monitor, all no use. Check the warranty, just over by 2 months! Asked the service store, to fix will cost at least $200-$300 to replace the motherboard! It does not make sense when spent a bit more could buy a new notebook. But my kid liked it and it does not make sense to throw it away either, when it still looks pretty new and only being used very lightly (schoolwork only). It is sad, especially the brand has been gainning my trust. I probably don't expect a "good" solution either from Lenovo or community, but just throw my frustration here (only because have just registered the account and there is no support email or web form). If Lenovo want to make customer happy, the part shouldn't be so expensive for a short-lived laptop! Just by the way, there are many posts about Ideapad's black screen issue, and many blameed window 8.1 for the compatibility problem. It made me thought so too because the initial sympton was exactly the same. The best thing you should do: don't waste time on fixing the driver or config, get the hardware replaced as soon as you could when  still in warranty. If not so lucky, probably think it twice next time when you want to buy a Lenovo.            

    Welcome to the Lenovo Community !
    Sorry to hear of all the problems.  Here are a couple of things to try........
    First, try a reset of the BIOS.  The procedure can be useful in resolving some hardware conflicts which your computer may have.  Just do this......
    1. Unplug the charger / adapter.
    2. Press and hold the Power Button for 15 seconds.
    3. Plug in the charger / adapter if needed and power up the system to see if the problem was resolved.
    If you are comfortable working inside your laptop. try this........
    Try the reset again with the battery removed.
    If the reset didn't resolve the problem then you may have a failed piece of hardware preventing the bootup. Remove the battery, hard drive, optical drive, memory, wireless card and bluetooth if it is installed. Now try to power up the stripped laptop. With all the hardware removed you should have lights come on and it may possibly beep since there is no memory installed. If the laptop is showing signs of life start adding hardware one piece at a time starting with a memory module and boot up the laptop. If it doesn't power up try the memory in the other slot. Also try the other memory module separately in both slots if two are available. If it is still showing signs of life add another piece and boot. Do this for each item until it doesn't power up again. The last piece of hardware installed is your problem part.
    The link below is for your model's Hardware Maintenance Manual. The manual will explain how to remove the various hardware items. When working inside your system please follow all precautions and recommendations that are noted in the manual.
    http://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles_pub/ideapad_u310_u410_hmm_1st_edition_mar_2012_english.pdf
    There is also a Lenovo Training video that will show you how to remove the various items.  These are listed in the FRU section.

  • Lenovo N 500 Blue Screen Error

    I just purchased this laptop in February and shortly thereafter I started to get the blue screen error message.  It only happens after the screen tries to wake up from hibernation.  I have not been able to turn hibernation off.
    The system has Windows Vista Home Basic; Version 6.0; Build 6001P1
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I just don't know what to do and when I tried using the lenovo care, it said that the update service would not be available until May.  This is already the middle of May.
    Thank you

  • MBP stucks on blue screen on login, even after complete reinstall

    Hi everyone!
    This is REALLY driving me nuts. Three days ago, I found one of my MBP apparently on sleep but with fans running full speed and unable to wake up. As usual, when this happens I just force it to turn off but this time after the Apple logo (OS loading) I got stuck on a blue screen before the login window.
    *What I already have DONE trying to solve this (please read)*
    - PVRAM reset
    - SMC reset
    - Full check with Disk Utilities (no problems)
    - Started on verbose and single-user mode and done almost everything there (fsck, checking console.log, etc…)
    - FULL OSX REINSTALL, erasing every partition (even "zeroing" the disk) and installing from external drive (installing from DVD didn't seem to work, but the optical drive is fine). Still same problem.
    *Other symptoms*
    - After waiting like 5-10 minutes on the blue screen, it shows the login window just fine and I can login. From there everything seems to work OK. I can use my computer "fine"
    - OSX loading (gray screen with the Apple logo) takes forever
    - Mac doesn't wake up from sleep
    - It runs quite hot
    - I can boot in safe mode, but the auto-check at the start of that mode doesn't solve the problem
    - When it is stuck on the blue screen, no cursor is shown. If sleep mode kicks in, the computer freezes on the login screen, can't do anything.
    At the beginning I said that one of my MBP was affected. Well, one day after the EXACT SAME happen on my OTHER MBP, EXACT same symptoms. (MBP 4,1 and 3,1 both on 10.6.6)
    I think this could be a corrupt firmware (remember this happens even with the complete reinstall) or a really weird hw failure or something beyond the OS.
    As you can read, I can use my computer (both). I'm writing this on it in fact. But I can't fully fix it and I have spend almost entire days on backups, possible fixes, forum browsing… really this makes my days a living **** (not kidding!)
    Please help me! Thanks in advance (And sorry for my english and the long post!)

    Well, neither of those should be the issue.
    Can't check the FW ports, as I don't have a FW cable (they are somewhat hard to find on my city)
    The reason I ask is because there have been a few cases here where the initial boot process was searching and searching for a FW port, but the port was dead, and it caused long delays similar to yours.
    No, no new HD or RAM, but is not stock HW (upgraded RAM and HD several months ago, never a single problem on either computer).
    RAM may be suspect. Have you updated software recently? Some RAM can be compatible with an earlier OS, but then out of spec after an update. If you have the original RAM, I would put it back in and see if that's the issue. If issue persists, try removing one of the modules and booting; if that doesn't work, swap the module into the other slot. Repeat with other RAM module. This will troubleshoot the RAM and both slots.
    There also seem to be a growing number of issues with non-Apple-branded HDs, so I'm not sure that can be ruled out. If you have original HD, and the time to put it in, and you want to get to the bottom of this, you may want to give that a try.

  • Ipad 32gb wifi, got too hot error, let cool down, then blue screen, won't reboot or power on

    a friend's ipad got the too hot error message earlier this afternoon, despite the device never having been used outside and having been inside in a 68 degree house at the time. was being used to watch YouTube videos primarily.
    let the device cool down.
    then they got the blue screen, and now the device won't power up, acknowledge power cord plugged in, or reboot at all. no apple screen, no slider, nothing.
    i'm guessing the device is totally bricked.
    anyone have any other suggestions, before we call tech support (it's a company-owned device, not personal, and only purchased in september 2012 so still under warranty).
    thanks!

    Hi Buddy! Well I was up 'til 5am and NOTHING changed on the indicator lights OR the computer...gave it 'til I got up today (11am ish) and still NOTHING!(Just my power bill going up LOL) However, if I turn it off, back on, off, back on THEN press alt+f10 BEFORE it starts 'circling' I get: "preparing repair" right away which gets my hopes up BUT nothing.OK.  So I have gone to look at the option of buying repair discs like you suggested, but the bleeping store web page keeps coming up "sorry ...we are aware of this problem...we are working on it" all in red ink. Yup, right, like you have great customer service too, yeah? grrrrrAnyhoo, wondering about this:a) could something be LOOSE? A neighbour told me her son had the EXACT same model and problem and just the RAM was loose.  He had to pay $$ a technician just to fix that which took about 5sec.  Could that be the case here? Something loose?b) Should/could I open the computer and check myself? What does the RAM board look like? Can I find a diagram somewhere that shows me a map of the inside of the computer?  I am a craftsperson (jewelry) and I am quite confident I have the tools to open it and look inside...What do you think?

  • Lenovo thinkpad L412 blue screen when i move my laptop

    i am using lenovo thinkpad L412 laptop
    my screen gets blue screen when i move my laptop. if i dont move it it just works fine.
    i tried to update my stytem for latest driver and software but still problem doesnt go away.
    i also run the diagnostic test for hardware but it doesnt show any problem.

    You can't have a blue screen in bios, blue screens are a "feature" of Windows OS.
    What is the error code mentioned on the blue screen? This could give information about the nature of the problem.
    You could also try to boot from a Linux Live cd distribution, such as Ubuntu for example (no need to install it, just boot from it). If the Live cd works well then most probably this is not a hardware problem but drivers related as somebody already suggested.
    Please tell us the machine type of your laptop, the operating system used and any hardware changes you have made (added memory, changed hard disk etc). Give as much details as possible!

  • Blue screen won't start

    Hi,
    My Mac Pro won't start, after grey screen with Apple, it goes to a blue screen and it stays blue. The desktop doesn't build up.
    Is this a hard drive failure? Any suggestions? Thx,
    Kwest

    Boot in safe mode. First, disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, and monitor, if applicable, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal.
    If you're able to boot in safe mode, try rebooting as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

  • Upgraded to Windows 10 on Lenovo Ideapad p400 touch, screen went dim

    Hello,I just installed the free Windows 10 upgrade on my Lenovo Ideapad p400 touch last night.  I woke up this morning and booted up my computer, and everything was fine until I attempted to change the brightness.  When I tried to do this, my screen went very dim, and now I can't adjust the brightness (and I can't read my screen well, either).  Normally, I would install/reinstall the video driver in order to fix this problem (recommended for other users with similar issues), but I currently do not see a Windows 10 version of the driver I need on the Lenovo website.I was wondering:a) if/when a new driver would be available to install (if that's the recommended solution)b) is there something else going on?c) Windows 10 allows you to revert back to Windows 8.1 within the first month of use.  Should I just do this?d) Is the p400 touch capable of running Windows 10? Why or why not?Thank you!

    Hello.  I also have a Lenovo Ideapad p400 touch.  Screen also went dim on me. In Windows 8.1 just uninstalling graphic's driver worked.  It was Control Panel, Device Manager and then Display Adapters.  That doesn't work with Windows 10. The other solution of rebooting and press the increase brightness key at the Lenovo logo somewhat works but it doesn't turn the brightness all the way up. So I found this worked for me: Go here:  http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/ideapad-p-series-laptops/ideapad-p400-touch-notebook/downloads/DS031547 And just download and reinstall the old graphics driver for Windows 8.  That finally got me back to maximum brightness.

  • Lenovo b590 20206 Blue Screen A5

    Help solve the following problem:
    lenovo b590 20206.
    after updating bios (h9et63ww) site lenovo, ceased to boot and install win XP (Need this OS).
    a blue screen A5(http://lenovo-forums.ru/uploads/monthly_07_2014/post-108705-0-61958400-1404986732.jpg)
    Other systems (Win7, Win8) installed and working properly.
    Please give me the previous firmware.

    Hi nazalin33, welcome to the forums,
    the reason you are most likely experiencing the blue screen with Windows XP is because XP probably doesn't have the required SATA driver in order to recognize the hard drive properly which Windows 7 & 8 do have.
    It is possible to install the driver during the installation of Windows XP, instructions on how to do this can be found in the driver readme file;
    Driver & Readme download page;  http://mobilesupport.lenovo.com/gb/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/lenovo-b-series-laptops/lenovo-b...
    Alternatively it may be possible to change how the SATA drive is recognized in BIOS by, if the option is there, by changing the AHCI setting to compatability which hopefully can be found in the BIOS configuration menu.

  • Lenovo 3000 N200 - Blue Screen during Startup

    I have a 3000 N200 laptop running Windows XP which has begun showing a blue screen error then restarting during startup.
    When turned on, it shows the Lenovo logo page then a page saying Windows did not start successfully last time. When I choose to start Windows in both normal and safe modes, the XP startup screen comes up then a blue screen flashes up for 1/2 a second then it restarts. I disabled restart due to system failure and read the error code, details are below:
    UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME
    Technical Information:
    *** STOP: 0x000000ED
    (0x86F5F030, 0xC0000006, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
    Choosing to start with command prompt loads files up to...system32\drivers\mup.sys,  then freezes and restarts.
    I have tried to enter the rescue and recovery using the LenovoCare button and F11, but this begins to load then freezes on the first screen.
    I rang Lenovo and they sent recovery discs but these have not worked, bringing up the Rescue and Recovery first screen with the Boot CD and freezing as with the LenovoCare/F11 buttons.
    I will be ringing Lenovo again tomorrow but any advice in the meantime would be much appreciated.

  • My iPod Touch is frozen on a blue screen & won't turn off

    I am having the same problem, Mine screen is blue and wont do anything. How long did it take for your to go dead? Did you plug it in and charge it for it to start working again?
