Meridian

FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
I am VERY not pleased

FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
it is only about a year old

bote lalin✨
oh damn

damn Free!dom
i feel you on this my dear. i JUST had to buy a new one

Meridian
Well shit. Damn

FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
I'm gonna see about bringing it in

FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
see if I can get it fixed

FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
but I'm very annoyed

damn Free!dom
its about the most annoying thing ever. especially when it just comes up out of nowhere

FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
yeah it just does the lenovo loading screen, then goes to lit but black

damn Free!dom
shit. lemme see if i can google anything

damn Free!dom
this maybe? Try turning the laptop off by holding the power button down until the laptop shuts off. Wait a few seconds and then turn the laptop on, press Enter and then F12 when you see the Lenovo splash screen. This should give you the options to try a different boot source.

FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
I'll give that a shot

FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
other than that I'm finding 'bring it in for service

damn Free!dom
i can keep looking if it doesn't!

damn Free!dom
yeah kinda DX

damn Free!dom
i hate that shit

damn Free!dom
maybe this too? The HP Hard Drive Self Test can repair most errors. Turn on the computer and press f10 to boot into the BIOS Setup and select Hard Disk Test. Restore the system to a known good configuration using Microsoft System Restore. Turn on the computer and press f8 and then select Boot into Safe Mode.

N ᴇ ᴛ ʜ ◈◇◇
going to the BIOS/UEFI startup and going to system restore would be my first instinct as well

FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
I can’t seem to get to the bios

FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
And system restore won’t work because windows is all cloud based now and won’t work with my password

damn Free!dom
shit hist shit. lemme search again for you

damn Free!dom
i can't find anything useful. it's windows right? if you can get to the microsoft website try chatting with a tech? that's what i did. they got me to the point i could at least get my files off, although the comp now is basically a doorstop B( i did get files tho!

Shard
Oh no. I hate it when things like that happen.

FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
yeah I was settling down to finally get some stuff done and ... nope.

FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
won't turn on

FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
gets to the Lenovo screen, circles, then black screen

FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
I can try to do the recovery but the recovery won't take my password for some reason even though I've checked it

N ᴇ ᴛ ʜ ◈◇◇
that's really weird

N ᴇ ᴛ ʜ ◈◇◇
I wish I could help, but our Windows OS course wasn't super in-depth and just covered UEFI stuff mostly


FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
I'm going to see about bringing it to a shop

FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
and try a few more things tonight

FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
I didn't want my husband to find out since it was a gift from him and he'd be really bummed about it

FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
so if I can fix it quickly it won't be a thing

FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
(he's been a bit depressed lately)
