How to Enter Lenovo G50 Bios Setup and Boot Menu
Hi friends, in the Lenovo G50 series Laptop there is not any option to enter Bios Setup or Boot Menu using the delete key or any function key. Today i am going to show you how to enter Lenovo G50 Bios Setup and how to install Windows using a bootable USB Drive.
If you see in the Left corner of this laptop there is a Secret button which is called Novo Button. First step you have to do that, Get a Windows Bootable USB Drive. Plug it in your Laptop in any USB drive, now press the Novo Button using a pen or any thinnest tool when your laptop is off. This will open a Novo Button Menu with Bios Setup and Boot Menu Option.
Step 1 : Plug a Bootable USB Drive in to your Laptop. (Note: Skip this Step If you Want to Install Windows from DVD.)
Step 2 : Press the “Novo Button” in Left corner of this Laptop. (Use any thin thing to Press.)
Step 3 : Now you will find this screen with Bios Setup and Boot menu, Select Boot Menu.
Step 4 : In the boot menu if there is no any option to boot from USB, DVD or Hard Drive. (That means you have to change Some Setting in the Bios Setup.)
Step 5 : Turn of your Laptop, again press the Novo Button and select the Bios Setup.
Step 6: In Bios, Go to Boot Section and Change Boot Order to Legacy Support Mode.
Step 7 : Now Go To Configuration Tab Here you can see USB Boot is Disable , just Enable it.
Step 8 : Now Select Exit Saveing Changes in Exit Tab.
Step 9 : Now again Press the NOVO Button > Select Boot Menu > Select Your Bootable USB.

I purchased G50 two years ago, never used it. Last month when I opened the box and tried to use it, didn’t start. Screen is flickering when booting. I tried following:
1) Tried to connect to external monitor – Doesnt get connected
2) REmoved hdd, no effect
3) switched RAMs in slots, tried all combinations, no effect
4) Removed RAM, now it doesn’t flicker but computer keeps on rebooting
5) Removed all the connector inside the laptop, reseated them, no effect
6) showed it to one of the local technician, she says graphics card issue, can’t believe this one for new laptop
7) Just came across your site, please suggest what can be done.
Wondering if it is something related to CMOS, which might be an issue becuase of non-use for long time.
It is soldered to the motherboard.
What about , remove laptop’s battery and plug charger then on it !!
Yes I’ve tried it, same issue.
I think its a mother board problem !!
thanks for the lnformation
You are welcome Alex , Thanks for Reading 🙂

hey brother…..
I tried to open bios by using novo button but no bios have shown, no boot menu was shown. what should I do now??? why novo button is not working?
Press the NOVO button when your Laptop is in Off position 🙂
Very very easy to use……thanks admin
You are welcome , Thanks for watching 🙂
what about g41-35 sir? ty
I think there are not any NOVO Button on that series of laptop, you may have to try Pressing Fn keys on startup. (Tip: Press Fn + F2 key) 🙂
they have different bios set up Sir.
I think you don’t have to change bios setting on that Laptop 🙂
I have a Lenovo G50-80 which suddenly would no longer start – no F2 F12 or Nova button would work and all that appeared was GRUB on screen with a flashing cursor. Solved by putting hard drive in another machine where it did work. Access the Bios via F2, went to Security tab, then down to Restore Factory Keys and pressed Enter to do the restore. Also set it to Boot from a DVD first. Replaced it in the G50 and it started with the DVD loaded. Rebooted and everything was back to normal. Sent as information that may help others.
Thanks for the info , i appreciate your help 🙂
