So a couple of years ago i got a bios update through Lenovo Vantage, so i installed it and bricked my whole BIOS, so i couldn't fix it so i put that ideapad in a box, 3 years later i found that one PC and want to recover it to switch from a 2014 hp laptop to this one.
I found a method to recover the BIOS of many lenovo laptops tha consists in pluging in a USB Flash with the BIOS files and power on the laptop with Fn + R keys pressed until fans go loud and start beeping loud, but nothing worked, so i think filename is wrong, i tried naming the bios file as 07WW.BIN, BIOS.BIN, BIOS.fd, LENOVO.BIN but nothing works.
And i know i can fix this laptop with this method because when i press Fn + R and power on the laptop while pressing those keys, the flash drive keeps blinking its light, like its finding the bios file, but if i power on the pc just normally (without pressing Fn + R combination) it doesn't even blink the light, so it might be missing files, invalid filename, incorrect file system (my usb is a corsair 256 mb one formatted in fat32, it should be fine, cuz bios is only 8 mb), etc. Any suggestions? Also i didn't contact lenovo support cuz my pc is already out of warranty and also, already dissasembled it before Any suggestion?
