  17. 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.

  21. 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?

    1. 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) 🙂

  22. 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.
