Hello.
I've had issues with my Lenovo M72e booting up (which I've asked about in another thread) but have managed to now get it to load Win 10 and I'm in a position to try and work out what the cause of continued boot up failures can be (in essence, starting up the PC will initially fail to even get in to BIOS - the fan spins, the power light comes on but absolutely nothing else happens. If I shut down and try again, it'll then usually manage to bootup but only after a good delay.)
I have downloaded Lenovo's Service Bridge 'update' app and ran a scan. This suggested a few updates which I've done but none of these included BIOS (which this app reckons it can update too). I am concerned about my BIOS since I feel this could be at the root of my boot-up problem, and also it is still on the 2013 version from when my PC was built despite info (see link below) suggesting much later (2018) upgrades are available.
First, my current BIOS info is:
BIOS REVISION LEVEL: F4KT45AUS 18/10/2013
BOOT BLOCK REVISION LEVEL: F445A (which, from Lenovo's page, makes this a 'Tiny' system)
This is the Lenovo BIOS page: https://support.lenovo.com/gb/en/downloads/ds029184
Could anyone confirm that this newer BIOS is for my PC?
(I know the consensus is to leave BIOS alone unless there's an obvious issue, but - man - I have issues...)
Many thanks.
