Laptop stuck on a black screen after logo.

WarMhmd · 2023-10-16 17:28:03

Hello,
My laptop is stuck on a black screen after the logo appears. Can anyone help me with it?
* I am using Lenovo G580.
* Note: I can't access bios.

Here is how the issue happened:
I was installing an ArchLinux for the second time, and it removed the original BIOS. By mistake, I powered off the laptop, and the issue occurred when I tried to power it on.

Usually, there was a grub menu, but the black screen came before it. I tried every possible combination to enter grub or bios, but none worked (f1-f12, esc, e, shift).

Please tell me if you need any extra information, and I will provide it.

I wonder how Arch removed the original BIOS?

Note: To enter BIOS setup utility, press F2 when the Lenovo logo appears on the screen while
the computer is starting up.

also none of that made any sense, what did you actually do ? what are you trying to do ? can you boot the installation media ?

I apologize for the lack of detail in my previous message. Currently, I am unable to access BIOS using either F2 or F12. My objective is to flash my BIOS, but I've encountered some issues along the way. Here's what happened:

During my second attempt to install Arch Linux on my laptop, I attempted some mount commands which unfortunately resulted in errors. After this, I used the "poweroff" command which initiated the system shutdown. However, during the shutdown process, I mistakenly forced my laptop to turn off.

Now, whenever I attempt to turn on my laptop, it displays the logo and then gets stuck on a black screen. I'm hoping you can provide me with some guidance on how to resolve this issue. If there's any additional information you require, please let me know.

if you cant enter the bios following the official lenovo instructions then maybe the laptop/bios is faulty, and it looks like that laptop has a cmos backup battery soldered to the motherboard so clearing the cmos requires soldering skills.
its more likely your just getting the timing wrong, power it off completely then turn it on and keep pressing the f2 button repeatedly and see what happens.

also can you boot the installation media? if you can then proceed with an installation following only the official installation guide and if you get stuck or have errors then please post actual output here using code tags or a pastebin service, because:

I attempted some mount commands which unfortunately resulted in errors

tells us absolutely nothing
