Ideapads and crap
12 years ago
Ranting/information this day. |D
I got myself at april of this year a new laptop. (Lenovo Ideap U510)
Wasn't this bad. Win8 seemed nice and it was easy to work with it.
But the mouse randomly rushed over the screen and clicked stuff. |D
(No it wasn't a virus. This virus must be installed with windows. :P It was there before I had access to the internet.)
Also the battery was crap and lost all his power.
So I got him back and let them send him to the producers to let them fix that.
Got him back. Battery fine, mouse fine.
A few weeks later he wasn't able to read one of my flashdrives. (I thought it might be the stick. But why can other PC read him?)
But I ignored it. Other sticks are working fine.
A few days ago, this crappy thing had a sudden shutdown. Deleting one of my drawings I did for Pilis new refsheet. (I had to redo a lot of the drawings. Good thing I save my stuff in at least 3 different files. :D Neurotic I know. But you see it works wonder.)
Today I send him to sleeping mode and left the house (was pretty sick, you know over christmas) when we got back home, I wanted to start him.
Nothing happend. >____>
Tried it several times and he always wasn't able to boot properly. Hanging himself at some points and starting all over again.
Aaaaand in Win8 you can't get into the save mode (how am I supposed to press FN+F8 in 200 Miliseconds?), so my darling was so charming to make me a recovery disk. (I nearly cried, since I had a lots of drawings, that weren't uploaded and only saved at this stupid laptop.)
We had to trick this ugly thing to get us at least into a strange small, version of BIOS. There I had to get him out of UEFI and finally he started the disk.
And wasn't able to do anything. :'D
Great! If he starts the disk, he doesn't know he has an own harddrive.
And if I would try to get this little fucker to a professional to save the most important data, it would cost me around 200€. (Do I look like I am rich or a donkey that shits money?)
Buuuut! There was one trick. When my last pc died (mainboard crashed half after the power send him a current peak) I was able to get a little access to this command module.
Okay. Here starts the easy part. Get him back into BIOS with the recovery disk. Open the command module and open the fucking Editor with the command notepad. (If it would be possible I would marry Uki to adopt the Editor. He is such a brave child.)
Now you need to try to open other txt-files. Arrange the setting to all files. And tadaa~
Access to your files.
Copy all the shit you need and save it on a flashdrive. Will take you some time, but it is worth it.
After rescuing (remember me to upload all this drawings tomorrow, would you?) all the data, we tried to set his system back to zero. Same problem as before. If you start him this way he doesn't now he has an own brain. (Okay, I believe this thing is to stupid anyway.)
So here I am. Working at Ukis old PC (that weighs like a ton on my legs). At monday I will throw the store the fucker right in the face. Best would be if they give me my money back and I could buy something different than Lenovo. >: But they're allowed to send him in two more times. (We will see how willing they are.)
I have some spare money from christmas and all the hours I worked on sundays what gains me more income and I guess I will spend them to buy me a small Netbook so I have an own thing to work on. (Our old Netbook died some time ago. It was also a brave little child. Doing his best. But we worked to much with this poor little thing. 3 year in use every day. Nearly the whole day. :D It was from Samsung.)

Hope you get a different model in the end :/ Really sucks to have all those problems!
I was told there are ways to fix that, but it would require tearing the laptop apart first. I myself have not done that yet through.
