What to do if it say an issue with restart
Hello! 🙂 I have a Lenovo 100e 2nd Gen. Model 82GJ. I tried resetting it but for some reason it keeps turning on and off. It’s been doing it for 3 hours now and nothing has changed nor has it finished resetting. I hardly have anything on it. Please help me. I’m trying to sell it but I don’t want the person I’m giving it to, to have problems with it.
This video should be 30 seconds at the most
Can you help me
Ok next question!! Using your second approach, and the reset / recovery (F11) option is available, then you do a complete reset (old files, data, previous owners info removed) so like new out of the box, then through the Management file, remove the device from the cloud? Whew! Long winded!
for Lenovo Windows 11 when we restart 1:21 do we click on f11
Thank you so much sir now my laptop is fixed
Hello peeps, I NEED HELP! I reset my computer to factory settings but while it was reinstalling windows my Lenovo Yoga computer shut off (I think because of the battery). Now it’s showing an “install windows” white square pop up box that says “to install windows, click OK to restart the computer, and then restart the installation.” However, everytime I do this it returns to the same screen. How do I reset my computer to factory settings/fix this problem without access to my desktop?
Thank you so much.
Should have watched the entire video before I press shit 😂
Mine won’t diagnose 😢
Hey there, I have a Lenovo G580, 2689 model laptop from 2012, and I’ve done multiple factory resets. I was wondering if it’s possible for me to get windows 10 on this laptop, or is it too outdated? Since I’m on windows 8, thanks.
Hi I hope you will read this message I have a Lenovo E570. I can no longer log in, I know the pass but it gives me an error "The User Profile Service was unable to log in. Could not load user profile". I tried to restore with the method you showed in the video but it doesn't work. Can you help me?
And by the way I appreciate you for everything you do and keep doing it we're not annoying but you don't seem like you're yelling at us lol Good job bro
