Of course as expected I screwed up. Due to my impatience while waiting and due to huge curiosity towards modding i bricked my Lenovo. Now I need help getting into bios recovery mode. I followed every possible guide / tutorial but none of the key combinations work for me. It's Japanese model with few extra keys if that means anything. When I start laptop fan spins then stops for a second and continues again and thats it. No mather which combination of keys I use usb stick drive led blinks for 1 second normal like when you plug it in and thats it.
Additional info (advanced, don't have to read): I was playing with LenovoSetupConfig module in bios. Its a module for config tab in bios and I found a lot of hidden cpu features and options inside. Since there is no precise tutorial for this I messed with jumps in IDA pro. I flashed the bios but there where no changes in menu or options so I messed a little more with it. Before flashing again I searched the internet because I was 95% sure I'll brick it , and it seemed according to forums that bios recovery is more less straight forward process. I got tools like minidos and wincrisis and then flashed my bios again. All worked nice, program said it will restart and when it restarted and bam, no screen just fans spin.
I said ok lets try to recover it. But the sh*t went very soon from chill I got this to oh look thats the second dead Lenovo you have here in just 2 weeks!
First I couldn't get wincrisis to work, project path is grayed out. I have 8GB stick, figured thats the problem. Went to buy 1 or 2 GB stick , [censored] Japan and standards cant find nothing less than 4GB. Finally found 2GB microsd and card reader. Same problem. Turns out its always grayed out, you have to have bios and all files from wincrisis in that same folder and it works. Nobody on any forum mentions that , although a lot of people report same problem.
I don't think this is unrecoverable since I didn't change too much , and both module and bios size are same size as original, but please help me before I [censored] things up to seriously snd have one more in a huge collection of bricked devices lol. I saw somewhere that Lenovo officially didn't never release recovery procedure. If it indeed recovery mode doesnt at all exist in the system and cant be recovered that way, than sure enough this is my last lenovo for this and other reasons.
Thanks!!!
