"Yoga ThinkPad" I bought new 2018, rarely used, the last few months it wouldn't even turn on or charge, today it finally turned on, it let out and unholy weird BEEP and now I see this screen. I hit F9 and press enter and it does nothing. please advise.
The beep tells me there could be problem with some hardware that motherboard is trying to tell you. I'd dig up mobo manuals and check beeping signal meanings.
Oh, man, beep codes! I had all but forgotten about beep codes!
As I was going through the settings it indicated that the "beep" meant that a password & time/date needed to be set. And It also provided me information that there was a setting to allow the beep or to disable the beep.
That's the BIOS screen. It's the main OS that's used to access the hardware and load other operating systems.
First thing I'd check is the boot order and make sure it's looking at a local hard drive or ssd first. Also unplug any USB drives.
Thanks homie. With your tidbit of information I'm starting to make a little more progress... ugh I hate computers and I don't understand them and I need a snack now
Yeah, if there'a a BIOS password locking you out of making further changes, and you don't already know that password, it's going to be super hard to do anything.
In most cases, you'd open the computer and pull the CMOS battery to reset the BIOS, but I have no clue how to do that on a Thinkpad.
Good news, it's been a few hours and I made it through all that and the password was no problem, I just had to establish a password cuz apparently there wasn't a password before, not sure why they were asking for that, maybe they weren't even asking for that, I just went through a few settings and then found my way back to the boot screen and finally got in and
DID MY TAXES!
Hooray. I won't have to use a library computer, my laptop works again. For now.
Yeah the only reason I needed my laptop was to do my taxes because some things, like taxes, can't be done on smartphones.
Yeah, you don't HAVE to set a BIOS password, but it helps keep people from fiddling around where they shouldn't be!
Congrats on getting it going!
