Hi all,

Do you know how to emergency recover BIOS in Y510p? I tried to use common method of Insyde BIOS recovery (starting with USB flashdrive).

I tried several options (formatting USB drive to different filesystems, using different USB drive sizes, sticking to different USB sockets, using different key-holding Fn-B, Fn-R, Fn-Esc, Win-B... etc, and starting laptop using both PowerOn key and "special" BIOS key on the left) but nothing worked.

The filename I used was YX01.BIN (tried different filename extension as well... .rom, .bios, etc). No luck so far - Laptop starts but flashing procedure is not started.

Do you have any ideas? Thanks.

I found this:

1.copy Yx01.bin to U disk root directory(none bootable) .

2.shut down and unplug battery and power adapter.

3.insert U disk.

4.press and hold the Fn+R hotkey.

5.plug in the power adapter.

6.release Fn+R hotkey.

7.boot pc.

8.wait...
