For months it wouldn't even turn on or charge, today it finally turned on, it let out an unholy weird BEEP and now I see this screen. I hit F9 and press enter and it does nothing. please advise.
"Yoga ThinkPad" I bought new 2018, rarely used, the last few months it wouldn't even turn on or charge, today it finally turned on, it let out and unholy weird BEEP and now I see this screen. I hit F9 and press enter and it does nothing. please advise.
The beep tells me there could be problem with some hardware that motherboard is trying to tell you. I'd dig up mobo manuals and check beeping signal meanings.
As I was going through the settings it indicated that the "beep" meant that a password & time/date needed to be set. And It also provided me information that there was a setting to allow the beep or to disable the beep.
Thanks homie. With your tidbit of information I'm starting to make a little more progress... ugh I hate computers and I don't understand them and I need a snack now
Yeah, if there'a a BIOS password locking you out of making further changes, and you don't already know that password, it's going to be super hard to do anything.
In most cases, you'd open the computer and pull the CMOS battery to reset the BIOS, but I have no clue how to do that on a Thinkpad.
