Q: The diagnostic test showd an error with my HDD. What do I do?
A: If your HDD shows an error, try reseating the HDD as seen here in this video. If fails to help and your HDD still shows an error, its most likely bad and needs to be replaced. If you would like help locating a compatible HDD, let me know or check here for some options: www.amazon.com...
Q: I couldn't change my BIOS settings or I did change them and it didn't help.
A: If you could not change your BIOS settings or if changing them did not help your situation, them move on and try the other steps in this video. What was the result of the Lenovo diagnostic scan?

I have a bios error and it is causing a loop. How in the world am I suppose to install something on my computer when it will not start and is stuck in a loop??
1. What is the BIOS error on your Lenovo? Are you able to try the BIOS steps seen in this video as none of the steps seen here involve installing anything.
2. Also, did anything happen before this issue appeared? Liquid spill, overheating, Windows update, etc?
Hello there's a problem on my laptop stuck on looping, it was maybe because of windows update or SSD or battery itself but I want and believe it can still be opened I just don't know how, so if you have any keyboard shortcuts or tips .. kindly share it to me because I still want to open my laptop :(

Hi, I'm trying to boot Windows 11 with "Secure Boot" enabled but after "POST" it goes to the "BIOS" setup screen. When I turn "Secure Boot" off, Windows loads properly.
I've installed Windows 11 with "Secure Boot: Enabled" and "CSM: Disabled" and it has been installed properly.
I have a hard drive with GPT and Windows installed on the HDD on a partition formatted as NTFS.
Super brother juat fix the hard drive and it solves boom🎉thank you
Great to hear !! Always here to help :):)
So after a windows update, I started boot looping on my old x1 carbon. Tried changing boot mode in bios. Time is right. I cannot boot to USB to install a new os. I tried factory resetting bios. Nothing. Should I try flashing the bios? I'm hesitant to go that option cause I can only mount the iso to a CD as it's not showing as bootable media in Rufus. Or is it a motherboard issue. Only thing I haven't tried is the cmos battery as I don't want to tear the laptop apart.
Ps it's not a spinning circle like it's not finding windows. Just Lenovo screen, no post.
It sees the hd and bootable USB in boot order. Change it to USB and load that first. Continues to loop and no post no matter what's on top
If this happened after a Windows update, are you able to locate any 'Uninstall Last Update' in BIOS? Or any Recovery or Repair options
@@PC_Monkey I did and no luck. Ended up just declaring the PC surplus. Oh well
@@amandaschoen6421 Sry :(
Good day sir. My problem is that my laptop shuts down after a short duration of turning on. I can access the BIOS stuff but again it just tuns of after a minute. TIA!
same issue, any updates?
Excellent video content. Thanks for sharing. 😊
Thx for commenting Rhonda !!
Removing external mouse helped, thanks a lot
Very clear info
Thx Max :):)
Thanks so much for all the information! A couple days ago I think I accidentally closed something I shouldn’t have in task manager, and ever since then my laptop gets to the Legion logo with the loading circle but after a few seconds it just goes black. Alternatively, every now and then it will go to the blue screen that says windows didn’t load properly. I’ve tried restoring it to a previous day last week, taking out the battery and reattaching it, and even reinstalling windows from the cloud. Nothing has worked, I’m still getting the same issue. The weird thing is that yesterday I went into BIOS and switched it to Dynamic Graphics (it was on discreet graphics before this) and I was able to load into windows. However, every game I tried to play was really slow, so I went back into bios and switched it back to discreet graphics and have been stuck with the issue again ever since. Getting to the Legion logo, the circle spins a few seconds, and then everything goes black. I’ve spent all weekend and probably 8 - 10 hours trying to fix this myself and I’m really stressing out. I really can’t send it in anywhere because I cannot afford it at the moment. PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN! 🙏
Also I should add that I have a Lenovo Legion 5. I just switched it back to Dynamic Graphics in BIOS for the second time and once again it worked and I can get into windows like normal. Why won’t it work with discreet graphics all of the sudden? Thanks for taking the time to read all this

The thing is, I took my computer to the micro center telling them that my computer died on the bios update causing it to be bricked, guy claims he fixed it but when I go home, instead of the flashing loop waiting, it takes about 8 minutes for my laptop to boot up. How do I fix this, should I just sell the laptop
Should just consider it a sunk cost

Hello! I just reset factory again my Lenovo legion y540 yesterday 8.15.2024. I did it via settings and find reset PC. And it did, now my problem is after resetting it nothing appears in the screen. I thought till now maybe it takes a very long time to regenerate the system before it wakes up or the screen pops up. But till now 8.16.2024 still nothing appears on the monitor. What should be the best thing to do? Thank you so much! Now I just let it on I will try to turn it on till the morning and see if it wakes up or screen pops out.

Help, I think my lenovo has 2 problems at the same time, the blue "Repair cannot repair your pc" and the black screen after loading. The issues started happened when one time my pc started to heat up a lot and then the entire pc froze, a couple of minutes later the screen turned off but the pc still on. I shut down it by holding the power button, when I reopen it, the blue screen appeared.
Here are some things I tried to fix it:
I tried the "continue" option, but it just restarts the pc and then the blue screen is back.
I tried startup setting and enabled safe mode, it loaded. But when I restart the pc, the blue screen is back.
I tried changing bios boot setting, nothing changed.
I tried startup setting's "disable early launch anti malware protection" and "disable automatic restart after failure", that just lead to the black screen again.
I tried using the terminal's "sfc /scannow" and "chkdsk /f C:", that didn't work.
I don't really remember, but I think "startup repair" also lead to the black screen.
I didn't try reseating the hardware and "Reset this pc" yet. Because I don't want to do it if I don't have to.
Were you able to run the Lenovo diagnostic test as seen here? Did you try the BIOS steps seen here including the Repair or Restore options?
@@PC_Monkey I think my Lenovo didn't have diagnostic test.
In BIOS i check the time and switch the boot mode, it dosent work. the other things i could not find in my BIOS. Repair/restore options i ran from the blue screen, is that count?

1. Does this help you get inside? th-cam.com/video/u9ijOqcOhqw/w-d-xo.html
2. An overheating computer can be damaging multiple different components if not resolved. First, make sure that the fan and vents are clean and clear. If you need help accessing the fan, let me know what brand and model computer you have and I can help you get inside it. If that does not fix the overheating issue, then try replacing the thermal paste on the CPU and if needed, the GPU as seen here; th-cam.com/video/K_j4GPjpawk/w-d-xo.html. If that fails too, replace the CPU
I have a Lenovo T420. Dropped on my desk. Getting 2100 HDDO error and Media Cable Failure. Will NOT go into BIOS. Have tried everything, just goes to black screen. I have taken hard drive out and put it back in several times. Any thoughts? How would I find the cable?
First step would be to reseat the HDD. Sounds like you have with no luck. If there are any HDD Cables or other smaller boards that the HDD connects to before the motherboard, reseat those as well. If still no luck, your most likely looking at a HDD issue or Motherboard issue. Replace the HDD first and install an operating system to the new one. You can get help with that with other video links in the description of this video. If that fails to help, your may need to replace the damaged motherboard at that point :(

Can you find any Repair or Recovery options in BIOS? Can you find any 'Uninstall Last Update' in BIOS? Can you access the Lenovo diagnostic test?
Hi, so I tried the novo button - unfortunately no lenovo diag software on this model. The system bios is keeping the correct date & time. I switched to legacy boot - no effect. I uninstalled the last update (one system update and the feature update) - no effect, so I tried to 'recover' windows (both ways - saving files and complete recovery) and it will get to about 83%, stop, and then say 'undoing changes' and eventually a blue screen will tell me that it failed. I wish I had the forethought to have made a recovery flash drive! Would I be correct in assuming the OS is damaged? Or should I pull the cover and reseat the hard drive for good measure? Right now it's sitting at the lenovo screen with the loading circle going and it's ticking away like it's working on something but it'll sit like this for hours.

My Lenovo has a startup loop from an attempted bio updates.
Just get the lenovo screen, then black, then lenovo screen again.
Can't even get to the bios - any advice for that?
Can you try a manual BIOS reset as seen at 9:10 here? th-cam.com/video/kOBY4k2Mn_k/w-d-xo.html
The Lenovo g450 keeps making me repair it, and I can't find the problem.
1. Are you able to try the steps seen here? What was the result of the diagnostic test?
2. Also, did anything happen before this issue appeared? Liquid spill, overheating, Windows update, etc?
@@PC_Monkey I'll just buy a new one maybe it is already a 13-year-old laptop though.

@pc_monkey thanks for the reply. No spills etc. I tried to do a recovery using f12 but it failed saying c drive was corrupted. How do get to CMD to run a check disk? Didn't see any check disk in the Bios (F2). I even tried to change boot to legacy but that didn't help anything
This comment isnt in reply to any previous conversation so unfortunately, I dont know what its referring to :( You were unable to run the diagnostic scan on your Lenovo?
I have a problem with my pc which was updating now its stuck in a boot loop how do i deal with that?

Hi PCmonkey I can’t get to the diagnostic screen by power button f1, f2, enter or esc buttons and I’m stuck in a boot loop. The model of my Lenovo is 80G0 do you know what I need to do please?
Do you have a NOVA button or pin-hole reset that can take you to BIOS or the diagnostic test? Also, did anything happen before this issue appeared? Liquid spill, overheating, Windows update, etc?
Hi , I have a lenevo Legion Y540 and i have tried everything from secure boot to legacy support booting options.. it still just loads whenever i start my pc with Lenovo logo on top . And loading circle below ...pls help
Have you tried the diagnostic test as seen here? Can you find any Repair or Recovery options in BIOS?
Also, did anything happen before this issue appeared? Liquid spill, overheating, Windows update, etc?
@@PC_Monkey so glad u replied man...no but before this issue there were sudden restarts that started happening just 1 day before... In bios I don't have any recovery options..also I m not able to figure out how to go to Safe mode or that blue screen recovery options in Lenovo... even when it started diagnosing my pc..it restarted but again fell in the loop with Lenovo logo on top 😭
I have a Lenovo x1 carbon gen 4. And can’t get it fixed I tried the time thing and also the startup thing. Any suggestions
Were you able to run the diagnostic scan? Also, did anything happen before this issue appeared? Liquid spill, overheating, Windows update, etc?
@@PC_Monkeyyea windows happened and at the same time Lenovo itself also had a update. So it started restarting and then got stuck in the loop while updating

Hey how are you my Lenovo yoga 6 Chromebook keeps restarting itself. It would say automatically repair or when it comes on for a short period of time it automatically shut itself down and I only had this Chromebook for a year.
Can you factory reset it as seen here? th-cam.com/video/0klWYOkkBAM/w-d-xo.html
Hey I'm having a really big issue with a Lenovo e 14 the customer messed with some bios settings not knowing wich and formatted his blocker drive and wiped it because he has no way of recovery of the keys or password and the bios keeps giving me a write protect warning so I don't know where to start because of that
Unfortunately at this time, I do not assist with bypassing BIOS passwords on this channel :(
Bro you are built for this 💯🔥
I may wish to ask...If my Laptop has a black screen but it passed the LCD test does that mean the LCD is safe...?
Thx :) Your computer displays to an external monitor but will not display to its own?
@@PC_Monkey it's does display on It's own but it's too dull...On an external monitor tho', yes it does clearly.Plus the drive self-test says 'not applicable'.
I have a Lenovo yoga C740 and I don’t have many of these settings. Watching you previous video on this matter you had said to switch to legacy mode or the mode currently not in use. If that isn’t an option for me what can I do ?
1. Are you able to find any Recovery or Repair options in BIOS?
2. Were you able to find the diagnostic test options?
Hi! Same problem here, no boot mode/ uefi/legacy boot option. I couldn't run the tests (black screen) and haven't found any recovery/repair options either. Should I get it fixed professionally in this case? I need my pc back ASAP 😭 (Lenovo v15)
@@t4rt201. If the screen is black, what are the signs that the computer is actually turning on?
2. Also, did anything happen before this issue appeared? Liquid spill, overheating, Windows update, etc?
Well, maybe I didn't explain it well enough, my bad. What I meant is that when the "Lenovo" finally appears, there seems to be no way to turn the diagnostics on, there is no response. Only boot menu shows up right afterwards. And yes it could be overheating before. I left a game on and left the room for some time so I'm not sure what went on but often games in general are treating my pc quite harshly 😅
@@t4rt20 1. If the diagnostic test showed your Hard Drive to be healthy, or if you were unable to run the diagnostic test, your next step would be to try an install Windows.

2. An overheating computer can be damaging multiple different components if not resolved. First, make sure that the fan and vents are clean and clear. If you need help accessing the fan, let me know what brand and model computer you have and I can help you get inside it. If that does not fix the overheating issue, then try replacing the thermal paste on the CPU and if needed, the GPU as seen here; th-cam.com/video/K_j4GPjpawk/w-d-xo.html. If that fails too, replace the CPU

I have the Mexican version of a Lenovo Thinkpad 3. It gets stuck on bootup BUT it also does not shut down using the normal power options. It just goes into sleep mode. I think there is some corupted code in the boot sector, but I don't know enough to diagnose it. I tried all of the suggestions on the video and frankly I'm stumped. Any ideas?

@@PC_Monkey There are no diagnostics on this machine. I'm running malwarebytes premium so I don't think I have a root sector virus. One thing I did, was to stop using the USB port that I had a wireless mouse plugged into. I unplugged all of my peripherals and stopped the machine by holding down the power button. It didn't freeze during boot up. It never booted up. The indicator just kept spinning and nada happened.
PS. Chrome also no longer functions on the PC, only edge

Hi Pc Monkey, I was stuck on boot loop on my Legion 5 Pro, the bios doesn’t have any change in Boot settings even if i disable safe setup mode, also the diagnostic setep provided by the company only gives option to choose bios settings or boot menu- which has windows and some Network boot option. Nothing was working since I couldn’t even reach automatic repairs before it crashes on booting screen and restarts. By some miracle my windows has booted now and is working fine but I’m scared of even shutting down my pc since this process wasted 2hrs of mine. What should i do now to fix this soo as it doesn’t happen again?? Since my windows is loaded and everything working fine i dont think it’s a hardware issue rather maybe my windows is corrupted?
how did you fix it ?
@PC_Monkey would you be able yo help me out with a ThinkPad T14s. My computer is stuck on a endless loop or restating. Resetting the computer, using a recovery key, or rebooting does not allow me to get into it. I was away and the laptop was not used for a few months. Now it won't update and the battery is dead even though the device was new and not used much at all. Please advise. Thank you!

I've tried everything and there are many areas including date and time that are greyed out and wo t let me access. It seems the same with cmos unplugged. Lenovo check date and time error 0271

@PC_Monkey I tried everything I can find on the subject. I also noticed that with or without the battery (either or both) and just the wall outlet plugged in it seemed exactly the same. I even bought new cmos batteries and the same. This is 5 laptops I bought in a lot I'm kinda learning to fix and flip them as a side hustle but exactly same problem with each. I don't know much about internal memory but I have a feeling the problem lies there.
@PC_Monkey I am rewatching this as well. I just wish I could change the boot order and tyvm for the advice.

Lenovo Laptop (ideapad) Z510- Type 80A3. After Microsoft applied an update, my laptop was stuck with Preparing Automatic Repair. I watched a lot of TH-cams for answers without success. After I pressed the Novo button it got into the Novo button menu. Then I selected System Recovery, the screen just turned into black screen without giving me Choose an option. Nothing happened after that. I had to press the power button to shut it down. I cannot get into Advance Repair and/or Advance Option. How can I get into Troubleshoot? There is no external devices attached. The CMOS battery is still the original battery which is about 10 years old. Do you think I should replace it to solve this problem? Thanks

@@PC_Monkey 1. when my laptop started to act up back in August 2023, I checked and saw there were about 8 updates quality and features updates combined. I was able to get access the uninstall manual.
