So I tried turning on my laptop again after having to force shut it down after screen going black and becoming unresponsive (Idk if it was too hot or w/e) Got to the lenovo logo and then it got stuck on a black screen with the loading circle and cursor. Didn't respond to anything (ctrl alt del etc.) waited about 30 mins and turned it off and tried again. I've since turned it on and off about 5 times, no recovery environment came up either. I've tried the remove battery, hold down power button thing, didn't do anything. I've got a disk with ubuntu which I tried putting in to see if it would recognise it on start up, nothing.

I'm sure all this is doing is highlighting how bad I am when it comes to computers but any help would be seriously appreciated. It's basically a paperweight right now.

(I'm running windows 10 btw)

Note: If this problem started after an update (or system reinstall), please make sure the laptop is not connected to the internet in any way before you use the following instructions.

Try the following...

1. Power off the laptop.
2. Power on the laptop.
3. As soon as you see the rotating loading circle, press and hold the Power Button until the computer shuts off.
4. Repeat this process a few times until you see the "Preparing Automatic Repair" screen.
5. Now you want to let the laptop boot to the "Automatic Repair" screen.
6. Click "Advanced Options" and then select "Troubleshoot".
7. Here you want to select "Refresh your PC", if you do not wish to erase data, or "Reset your PC" to erase all data and restore your system.
8. From here...

8. From here just follow the screen instructions until the recovery is completed.

NOTE: You will need to get into the "Advanced Options" in order to get the "Refresh Option". This choice will keep your data, but any programs installed will be lost.

Do not do a "Reset" as that will wipe all data you have on the laptop.


Another version of this is the following...

1. Power off the laptop.
2. Power on the laptop.
3. When screen turns black, hit F10 and ALT repeatedly until the computer shuts off.
4. You shouTo fix the computer you should choose the second option listed.
5. When the next screen loads, choose the option "Reset Device".
6. Now choose which ever type of reset you wish.
7. Your coputer should now restore itself to "Factory Settings".

NOTE: If you get a message saying "Error Resetting Device", then you should have the computer looked at by the manufacturer (if still under warranty) or by a tech.
