Lenovo Y510p Bricked Bios

Hello,

I own a Lenovo Y510p laptop and because I have problems with the cooling of it, I decided to mod my bios after this tutorial: 

 

 

Everything was fine, I managed to update my BIOS and land to this custom version. Because I have read on the internet that I should downclock the CPU from this bios, since it is overclocked by factory, I got in the settings and applied lower values. After I pressed F10 and saved the settings, surprise: My laptop won't display anything on the display. I tried to disassemble it to remove the CMOS battery located on the motherboard, but I abandoned this, because it is soldered. I read somewhere that getting the CPU out of its slot will reset the bios. I have done this too, but it had absolutely no effect. The laptop powers on, the keyboard backlight is working, but the screen is black, won't even turn on the backlight. I see, that the charging, power and caps lock indicator are all on. What could I do to save this little buddy?

 

Thanks in advance!

I tried all the methods. I even tried the Crisis recover, btu it had no effect. What I have done was to get out the HDD, The Wi-Fi Card and all the Ram memories of the laptop, inserted the USB with the bios named "Yi10.bin", plugged it in and turned on the laptop. After it shutdown by itself, because it had no Ram memory, I plugged in fast one Ram memory without plugging out the Power cord. Then, the laptop just entered the bios, so I managed to reset it. Maybe someone will face this problem and find my solution helpful!
