    Lenovo IdeaPad 330 15-AST 81D6 BIOS Recovery

    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?​

    Lenovo IdeaPad 3 - Hard Disk not recognized in BIOS
    by mkdj
    Dear all,

    I have recently fixed a Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 ALC6 that was not booting due to a BIOS issue. After flashing the BIOS, the laptop boots up, but hard disk is not recognized in BIOS. Is says "Hard Disk : Not Installed". I have tried with 2 different drives (one that I know is working on another laptop) but I get the same result. I do not know if disks were recognized before I got the laptop and fix it, but I don't see any reason why not. I can boot on USB though.

    Here the steps I have taken to fix the laptop:
    - downloaded latest BIOS from Lenovo Website...

    Bricked Lenovo IdeaPad 3 14ADA05 Need BIOS file for FN+R Crisis recovery
    by pcwhiz24
    Model: Lenovo IdeaPad 3 14ADA05 81W0
    S/N: PF2BZS7D

    I was having issues with this particular laptop where the NVME SSD would disappear and would not detect unless I took it out and reconnected it, then it would detect for only for a minute then disappear from BIOS. I figured updating the BIOS was worth a try so I booted into my HBCD USB and downloaded the latest BIOS file for that exact model. I ran the executable and everything went smooth, it beeped and then when it restarted, now it won't post, just black screen with fan spinning.

    I already have a CH341A programmer...
