i was a proud owner of a new lenovo y560 laptop
for me it was a very new experience to use a laptop . i had used only desktop PC many times. i enjoyed playing games on my laptop very much. This pleasure lasted only till the day there was a electric power cut followed by a power surge at my home and while i was playing a game (crysis 2) . when the power cut happened the laptop Operating System went automatically to power saving mode...so the heatsink cooling fan stopped spinning and then ( a few seconds later ) as soon as the electric supply resumed and power surge happened the laptop shifted to high power mode.all the while the game was still running, this caused overheating of my laptop,(happened in year 2013) there is visible burn mark on my laptop motherboard, the laptop did not stop working completely , it still worked normally when booted but then it would shut down after a few minutes , i had not known about the laptop cooling pads at that time (now i know).
later i managed to isolate the heating problems and my laptop worked fine (in year 2020).I used it for 2 to 3 days and i was sure that the laptop was now working fine. i was very happy that i had repaired my laptop using my own brain (LOL) .but then i made a mistake.i checked the lenovo website for driver and bios updates, i managed to obtain a bios update from the official lenovo website and after updating bios my laptop started overheating and hanging at boot time. i read the opinion of some people on the lenovo forums , they suggested that the bios should be downgraded by providing old backup bios file to the updating program and it should work fine again (I later realised how wrong these people were )t i followed the steps described in the posts on the forum to downgrade the bios and my laptop became bricked. I am attempting to revive my laptop now
Now there are some questions on my mind
1) why do corporations like lenovo ( i guess there are some others too ) provide bad (full of bugs) software to people?
2) why did people give wrong information regarding to bios downgrade on lenovo forum ? was it purposefully done by them ? was lenovo directly or indirectly involved in this?
what is your opinion about this situation ?
