Power failure during repair: Laptop not booting

(1/19) > >>

amf:
I ran repairs on my Lenovo G510. As recommended I took the battery out, disconnected the power cord and pressed the power button a few times. I noticed that the power cord wasn't plugged in as the first of the repair tasks was running, and plugged it in and left to do some shopping. While I was out we had a power failure as a result of a severe storm. When the power supply was restored the notebook wouldn't boot.  :omg:

The Windows Autorepair failed - and I can't get the notebook to reboot through any of the standard Lenovo recovery tools.

Please help!!!!

I assume you didn't put the battery back in after the cold boot ?

Do any lights come on when using it just on battery ?

amf:
I did return the battery.
The lights come on, and options to reset the notebook come on. It would be my very last resort. I have removed the hard drive to copy work I have to complete tonight (South African time).

Boggin:
What are the options that you get ?

Hi

I had a huge workload so just took out the hard drive to get access to my files.

My workload has now reduced to such an extent that I can attempt to get the Lenovo up and running again.

I tried to get it to boot from a restore DVD, but guess I'm too much of a noob to to do it.

By starting the notebook with the restore button I get the following options:
Normal Startup
Bios Setup
Boot Menu
System recovery.

Your assistance and patience is appreciated!
