    Yesterday, i updated the bios of my laptop lenovo helix (type 3701) from windows. After successfully installation i couldn't get in to the bios and it was just black cursor blinking screen. Except that everything was ok. Later i decided to downgrade to the older version bios to get rid of BS. This time after bios install preperation, pc rebooted, screen was black for 15-20 min and fan was full throttle. I know I shouldn't interrupt the process, but somethings was wrong and i shut it down after 20min. I corupted the bios i guess. After connect the battery, when i push the power button fan rotates for 1 sec and stops. Then Power button reacts to nothing.

    So, i really need your advices. What is my best solution. Thank you. (I have ordered SOP8 clip-CH341A and slept. Package will arrive in 2-3 days i hope. )

    By the way, my friend has exact same model(cpu,ram,hdd,pcie cards etc) fully working. Maybe could be part of solution.
