My laptop was running on Insyde Bios version 2.02, and I did not upgrade it to version 2.04 before running SVL7's procedure.

 

I just did a successful bios recovery on my laptop using an LED flash drive formatted to FAT32. I used the backup I made prior to flashing the modded bios using the file name "QIWY3.BIN" and the same bios recovery method that was used to do a bios recovery for the Y510P that is described here: http://blog.jimsjump.com/2016/02/07/lenovo-y510p-v305-bios-bricked-crisis-recovery-solved/

 

This bios recovery method wasn't well-documented, and wasn't easy to find on the net. It was also for a Y510p, but it also works on the Y500 and Y400 if you use the right recovery name.

Bro, you have saved my life!  Cannot thank you enough....

I still don't know how you made the bin file name correct.  I tried the model of my motherboard, and it didn't work.  And I googled QIWY3 which is the motherboard for Y480.

HOWEVER, "QIWY3.BIN" works perfectly with Y500.  I just renamed the backup bin file when I modded my bios, putted it on my usb and follow the instruction. BOOM, I am back.

Could have ended up with a brick, since you said even discharge battery wont work.  GOOD JOB!
