Trying to repair Lenovo 330s-14AST Model ID:81F8, it is refusing to go into the bios setting or Boot menu. When pressing the recessed Novo button it gives options to enter the Bios/boot menu or recovery menu. Choosing any one of these options restarts the laptop back to Windows. I've tried removing the main battery and CMOS battery, as well as the hard drive and even the keyboard ribbon cable.
I need into the bios/or boot menu to run the Windows installer
I think it is a corrupt bios, can anyone redo the bios with the laptop EC and serial number, etc from the dumped bios image or advise the hex locations to paste in the details
Provide the full machine model number, serial number (or Service tag, SNID) and the board model number (see https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=88758 ) ,The serial number, make, full model number, motherboard model and revision (except QR codes) must be written/typed at your request as per the rules. Not as a picture, part of the file name and so on.
Thanks for the fast reply everyone, very much appreciated...
apologies for not following the rules. I did read them originally when i joined and donated..must have missed that rule or i didnt see updated rules.

Thanks for the replies and bios fix, I tried the Windows UEFI firmware method but got the same result. I am getting verification errors after writing back to the chip. It said the write was successful but failed verification. I think it's the bios chip that's failing/failed...
I should have a replacement at work, so I will try writing bios to another chip tomorrow.
