Lenovo laptop v330 15IKB BIOS reboot loop

I updated my Lenovo laptop v330 15IKB BIOS firmware from the official page of Lenovo, using its installer utility (Windows 10). The software identifies the model and shows the firmware/drivers available for it, lets you choose what to install and then installs it.

After the installation the computer rebooted, but it got stuck in an infinite loop of instant rebooting.

What do I mean by instant? I can see the Lenovo logo for about 2 seconds, then reboots. I can’t access the BIOS, it doesn’t respond to the keyboard (F2, Supr, Fn+F2 and any combination of keys I could think of or found on the net). It’s like it doesn’t even get to the point of reading the keyboard.

  • I disconnected and reconnected the CMOS battery.
  • Disconnected the battery and power charger, then pressed the power button for around a minute.
  • Disconnected the hard drive.

Nothing seems to work.

The laptop was working perfectly fine before this BIOS firmware update.

Is there anything else I could try?
