Troubleshoot Boot Prob

[Deleted member 2913]

When I press the start button on my Lenovo V570 it gets hung up on the initial page that says Lenovo in large white letters in the middle of the screen. In the lower left corner it says "Press F2 for enter setup, F12 for enter MultiBoot Menu". In the lower right corner there is a bar that gets hung up immediately at about the half way point.

I can't start the computer in SAFE mode with f8.

Try insert Windows installation DVD(if you have), run command prompt from troubleshooting and write bootrec.exe /fixmbr or bootrec.exe /RebuiltBcd

I assume the computer is unable to enter the BIOS screen either?

Disconnect the battery from the laptop. Connect the AC adapter and turn on the power for the AC adapter. Disconnect ALL external devices, then switch the laptop on.

Removed the battery, disconnected everything.
Pressed the power button for 1 min.
Attached the power cord, started the system, same prob.

use the start recovery disc

The system stucks at the same Lenovo screen.

After inserting the disc & restarting the system, should I press any key?

Try insert Windows installation DVD(if you have), run command prompt from troubleshooting and write bootrec.exe /fixmbr or bootrec.exe /RebuiltBcd

Will the system automatically boot into the DVD?
How to do this?

You may have to access the BIOS to change the boot process order. Hold F2.

Are you able to access the BIOS?

 

[Exterminator]

More than likely your boot order is messed up and your HDD is not the first in order during boot.
Like @Huracan asked above can you access the bios?

The Lenovo screen that stucks shows f2 for enter setup, f12 to enter multiboot menu
But nothing happens if I press any.

I do not own a laptop.

But I would physically reset the bios via the pin on the motherboard (I assume it is like my desktop PC).

OR

I would hook a keyboard to your laptop (I assume you can do this like I can on the back of my PC), maybe your keyboard is not working.

Then once you get into the bios, you could flash the bios to the newest version from company website.

What Windows OS is that? If its 8/8.1 then you need to boot up Windows without any problems and use the Windows button (keyboard) + C then go to settings and go to 'update and recovery' then click advance setup so you will access safe mode or UEFI boot.

Now the problem here is that BIOS hotkey has something to do with a problem so try the suggestion of @rodneyo for flashing and see of it helps.

It happened on my old laptop before and stuck without a solution.

OS is Win 7 64.

I have never unscrewed a laptop & not familiar with the hardware parts inside.
Is it easy to flash BIOS physically? How to do it?

Actually its a cousin laptop. He said showed to 3 technician & all the 3 technicians just tried to boot it 2-3 times & nothing & said they can solve the prob.
The charge they asked were very high. And I think they were trying to con him.
All the 3 technicians charges were 12000, 13000 & 15000 INR.

So my cousin gave the laptop to me to see if I could solve the prob.
