THANK YOU!
Glad your all set :) Always here if needed !!
@@PC_Monkey so it didn't work but I am super glad you explain things so well. Here's my issues, I am a woman on a very small fixed income, I don't have money to fix it. I've been up all night trying to configure and watching tutorials about this device. Would there be any way we can communicate to try and fix it. could you plz reach out to me than I will give you the information you need to contact me. This is just so frustrating and I'm an older woman with lil PC experience and even lol patience 😁
@@F_a_i_t_h-AMEN What brand and model computer do you have and whats the issue with it?

So, first day my keyboard starts entering the wrong characters when I type, second day the wifi stops working while it does work still on my other devices. Then today the whole computer turns off after a while. I even had a blue screen. The computer only starts when I press the keyboard and when I press it while its on it turns off. It might be a software issue but it seems like the whole laptop is breaking down. Nonetheless, what is your advice? Would a factory reset have chance of fixibg this?
Thanks for doing this video! Does this keep drivers and Lenovo's preloaded apps, or do you have to reinstall them afterwards?
Most likely, you will have to reinstall :)
Thank you!!had my lenovo yoga 7 for only a month when the system wouldn't boot up.this worked!🙌

@@PC_Monkey I have a Lenovo IdeaPad and I want to know if you hard reset your laptop will it remove the user information?
@@shaquilleyusoff4271 Yes, if you choose that option. Another option may save most of your data and use settings.
@@PC_Monkey My fiances laptop is locked out and it gave a number to call and they are trying to tell her she needs to pay 300$ to unlock it, it sounds like a scam anyhow how can she unlock it, her browser wont work
@@jflame01 Yes, thats is 100% a scam :(:( Is the computer locked so she cant get to Windows or is the computer working but she just cant use a browser?
The installer you're using is it MBR or GPT?

@PC Monkey I am having trouble resetting to factory my m700. It has one of my passwords on it and I can't remember to save my life..lol it is a little desktop
Hi! I have a Lenovo Yoga laptop, I’m having issues with wireless connection I tried uninstalling the Intel (R) wireless ac 9560 driver but ended deleting. It doesn’t pop anymore when I click on “ Scan for hardware changes”. Please help! Thanks 🙏
It sounds like you may be able to help me. I have a Lenovo that asks for a Bitlocker key that I don't have and I am not likely to get. It also does not give you the option to "skip this drive" like some videos show when you Esc from the Bitlocker prompt. Can I do a reset to get rid of this, or is there anything else that can be done?
Hello. Ive been struggling with reset your videos are helpful but i still havent been able to access windows. Once i power on the laptop and use f9,f11 or f12 it takes me to troubleshooting and since i do not want to loose my personal files i take the first option but hen it takes me back to a black screen which indicates that its scanning and repairing drive. is there any way i can move on from here ? or do i have to chose the option that will make me loose my personal files? I will really appreciate your help on this one
Hi. We got the same issue and everything that you said happened to your laptop is happening to mine. We're you able to solve its issue? Hoping you could share how you handled it. Feeling hopeless here. TIA.
@PC Monkey Hello. I have a Lenovo z400. It came with win8 and today has win8.1because an update.
I still do not leave the pc as factory...and I want it (junk files, maybevirus,etc). Do you know if I do it ... the windows activation key (different from the serial installation) or product id remains and will everything work fine? He currently has a pirate office ... I don't know if he killed the original one in the hidden partition? I remember using kms or kmspico something like that ...
I want to reestablish the factory and that everything works fine.
Another thing: My pc is slow but I can gonin windows wothoutproblem... should you restore with the Lenovo onekey or better go to the menu in windows and put the factory reset? Which one will be more likely to be successful and not fail?
Thanks
Damn thanks for this tutorials man, appreciate it!

Ok so i am stuck on the “choose an option” any solutions?
@@dedoxedcaliber8440 you mean your pc froze
@@alwinvillero9505 u know wut forget it.
@@dedoxedcaliber8440 lmao i bet just unplugged it
Thanks for the video. I have a question. I upgraded by Lenovo Thinkpad X1 from Win10 to Windows 11. and later on 'reset' windows to go back to windows 10. ....Now it doesn't give option to go back to Windows 10. I really want to go back to Windows 10 using LENOVO FACTOR image. I doubt if windows 11 overwrote the windows 10 when I upgraded to windows 11. How can i check if my Lenovo factor image with windows 10 is still intact ? Thanks
FYI - I have a Lenovo ThinkCentre Tower with AMD A12 - 7TH GEN & couldn't exactly get into the back end the same way, but I found my way into a Lenovo Diagnostics by pressing F9, F10 & F11 (one at a time & alternating repeatedly), while booting up so I have no idea which one of those got me in, or if it was a "secret combination" lol. But, you can run diagnostics on everything with one click, or select one thing at a time. Since I have the error 1962, I tested my hard drive first, which was all good. Now I'm Testing for Bad Sectors, which automatically recovers whatever it can. It gives a warning that you should back up anything important if possible because any automatic repairs could erase data permanently. After testing, I'll try to give an update with results.
Thank you for organizing your videos in such a way that it makes it MUCH easier to troubleshoot quickly & what can possibly be skipped etc. It makes a big difference. I've been chasing down problems after one of the major WIN 10 updates a while back. (I let ads run to reward you for your time ;)
Much thanks :) Glad you found that option! Not all Lenovo computers have that, so you have a good one :)
Good luck !! Let me know how it goes :)
Your videos are so helpful and informative. Easy to follow. Thank YOU!

Hope you can help.. I recently updated the bios that Lenovo pushed a few days ago. Everything worked fine until today. I'm getting "Default Boot Device Missing or Boot Failed" . The Bios shows "Hard Disk not detected"
Hello, My Laptop (Lenovo T420s) is stuck on diagnosing your PC, I tried the installation of a new windows, but when I boot from a USB it shows 8 Pre-loaders that load infinitely on the screen and then the PC shuts down , I need help.
Thank you for your videos! I have a question regarding hard drive, is there a possibility to retrieve any data from Lenovo laptop if the hard drive is dead? I really appreciate your time
If the drive is bad, usually not :( You can try hooking it up to another working computer and see if you can access the data that way. If not, try bringing it to a repair shop. Sometimes we can get data off 'bad' drives :)
Thank you so much!

Yes :)
Hi Thank you for your guidance. I have an ACER Aspire 3. I was working on it yesterday snd it’s died. No help received from Acer. I followed your F2 tutorial but have not been able to move on from ‘No bootable device’ can you help please
If you have already tried to change the settings in BIOS as shown in the previous video and that hasnt worked. You would then try this factory reset. If the factory reset does not complete or does not accomplish what you desired, you would then try to install Windows new as seen in the last portion of this video. If that fails as well, your most likely looking at a hard drive issue. Replace it and install Windows to the new one :)
on my lenovo pc it wont sign the onedrive for some reason , how can i fix this problem?

Any advice if you keep getting an error every time you try to factory reset? It keeps telling me I don’t have enough space. I keep deleting things but I still don’t have enough
If you need to free up more space, try deleting data as seen here; ruclips.net/video/Dt5_GXotTmE/видео.html. If that still fails to work and the reset still wont complete, try reinstalling Windows 10 instead as seen at the end of the video.
Hey, when I select the custom advanced mode (for the second part of the video) No partitions show up. What causes this? Every once in awhile they do show up but when I used your method an error occurred during installation
Was your Lenovo computer working well before this attempted install? / Why are you installing Windows this way?
@@PC_Monkey My computer worked perfectly fine but right before needing do this, my computer randomly restarted over and over again until now every time I turn in my PC it brings me to windows boot manger.
The reason I am doing this with my PC is Becuase I can’t get in my PC anymore. It only brings me to windows boot manager.
I am binge watching all of your videos rn
Yeiks lol !!
I dont even think I would want to binge watch myself hahahaha

Hi, my laptop is lenovo thinkpad x200 windows 10, it has pen support but later on i discover that it say "no pen and touch available for this display" do you think by resetting my laptop it will get back my pen support. I already did othet tutorial by fixing missing drivers but it wont work. I try to restore my system but it doenst help me. I like to draw thats why i am frustrated that pen support is no longer available to my laptop even though it had that pen support.😔😔. My laptop update in the past months i think thats the cause of missing driver
I have question , satellite p75-a7200 laptop has two bays , drive is in bay 1 , but shows up as if it's in bay 2 and it,ll boot into windows , can hear fan & DVD sound like normally do ,but shortly afterwards laptop will shut down / reboot , I can hear little click type sound from beneath keyboard, changing bios setting from UEFI to CSM still does same thing , i.m leaning towards ether bios or M/B problems, thanks John also changing boot style causes no O.S detected until you change back to UEFI in bios
Using the steps seen here; ruclips.net/video/Nqn8-jJFx2Y/видео.html can you find an error that matches the time the computer shuts down?
Hi there! I'd like to seek your advice on my factory reset issue. I just bought a second hand ThinkPad X1 Carbon 6th generation laptop and I tried resetting it to factory setting. In resetting, I chose local reinstall of windows. Then it went to "Resetting PC (up to 100%)" , then it asked me to confirm clearing the TPM - Trusted Platform Module by pressing F9. I hit F9 and it went to a screen with the Lenovo logo at the middle and the message "To interrupt normal startup, press Enter." I knew that factory reset could take several hours, but it's been almost 7 hours and my laptop screen hasn't changed. I'd be very grateful if you could share advice on how to proceed from here. Thank you in advance!
If the factory reset does not complete or does not accomplish what you desired, you would then try to install Windows new as seen in the last portion of this video.

Hi, Thank you for your great video on how to reset . My chrom lenovo labtop is from school and i need to by pass where it says your device is locked. I have already wiped out the old chrom by clicking esc and circle arrow button, and turn on the new operating . but can't bypass the organization part. please, if you know tell me how to factory reset
If you still cant bypass that part even after a new install of the operating system, then you would have to contact the school, and have them release it on their end
Very much appreciated. Thoroughly done. In layman's terms worked for me.
Great to hear !! Always here to help :):)
My lenovo L540 thinkpad is still operational but has a lot of problems. Like lot of keys are not functional,slow wifi, slow performance etc...so, is factory reset the best option or is there a better option?
A factory reset will help if the operating system having errors is the cause of part or all of those issues. Slow wifi and slow performance should be helped by that I would guess. If the keys are still not working after the reset, refer to this video; ruclips.net/video/wqrchfpdJ_w/видео.html
Lenovo Ideapad 320 had to be factory reset. ( I used you! and thank you) It has been doing the reset and I became hopeful and found it kept "resetting this pc 72%" for about an hour and a half. What did I do and how do I get it to work correctly?
If the factory reset does not complete or does not accomplish what you desired, you would then try to install Windows new as seen in the last portion of this video.
I have a Toshiba satellite L505 series laptop with a black screen. I have tried most of your steps except changing the cmos battery. I didn't see it on top of the motherboard. I saw something wrapped in black tape but wasn't sure what I was looking at. Any suggestions
If the screen is black, what are the signs the computer is on? Lights? Sounds? Fan?
If it was the same size as a CMOS battery then most likely it was one. You would just unplug it for a minute and plug it back to try the BIOS reset
Hi Jamie
I have an HP Pavillion Slimline Model S5-1210T it's from 2012. Last 2 Microsoft Updates ,crashed my PC. Was able to fix using WINDOWS reset. This time the 3rd MICROSOFT update crashed and I can't fix it. Was able to do a factory reset, but it crashed again. Tried a Windows repair disc ,nothing works. Can't get into BIOS or CSMOS. Tried all reboots nothing works. Screen is stuck on black start up, where it says press ESC key for startup menu. Has some other info about processor type,speed,cache,memory size,channel A,B, and BIOS revision date.
On the last fix I tried with the repair disc,it said THE HP recovery. Drive is missing, and now I can't get any BIOS or CSMOS repairs to work. Also the CAPLOCK light will not go off. It was a good PC till the last 3 widows updates. Do you think you could help? HP only wants to sell me a new PC .
Thanks for any help and I would be happy to pay or donate.
Thanks again Eddie
Hi, i have a question: Can a laptop go into sleep mode while installing a program or an app? And if it does, will it resume the installation when it wakes up?
Sometimes yes, it can go into sleep mode. Usually it will be fine but sometimes it stalls the install or errors it. It really depends on the software being installed.
@@PC_Monkey Thank you!
Thanks a million for this information .
Your welcome !! Happy to help :)
Hello, my computer jumps right into preparing auto repair and then the screen turns black.
I tried your boot loop video first and that did not work.
I cannot find the correct function key for this video.
Any ideas?
What brand and model computer do you have? Have you tried the other Function Keys?
If the factory reset does not complete or does not accomplish what you desired, you would then try to install Windows new as seen in the last portion of this video.
Hello, Trying the through the backend I have tried all the suggested function keys, no go, when I turn on the Lenovo its is stuck In a cycling loop going on and off saying windows is at 64 percent, then turns off at starts again. I have tried tapping f1 through f12, upon power up, what can I do from here? Thanks for help, Troy

I've bought a Lenovo legion 5 laptop that had windows 11 and I installed windows 10 just by preference, however after it installed all of the apps that came already with the laptop (Lenovo apps included), settings and even the legion wallpaper disappeared and I even tried resetting the laptop again and moved it into windows 11 but all of what I mentioned above is still missing, is there any solution for this?
Thank you for providing such excellent help with your videos!
Yes, when you install a new operating system, all the added stuff like that is removed. No, once you removed it, you cant get it back :(
Hello thanks for thee videos I've been dealing with an issue towards my lenovo thinkpad t450s windows 10 seems to have some problems such that i can't install anything and sometimes if I'm doing something it just shut down the app please help!
What happens when you try to install things? How are you not able to?
I am using LENOVO YOGA 520 8gb Ram , Core I7 7th generation, I see the loading windows takes time and the operations arent that fast most of the times. Thinking to reinstall the windows again, should I reinstall or do factory reset ? Please let me know the best way.
I would first make sure all updates are processed as seen here; ruclips.net/video/DDv2gJDjfOM/видео.html
You can also try deleting unneeded DATA as seen here; ruclips.net/video/Dt5_GXotTmE/видео.html
If those two steps fail to help, then yes, I would try a factory reset :)
Hi I have Adobe on my laptop as well as my Desktop PC. The thing is the memory on my laptop is full. I cannot add any more programs onto my laptop. Can you please advise. I followed your video to see if this would help free up space on the laptop. While doing a hard reset to factory settings my Lenovo idea pad S130/14/GM. Does not have enough free space to do this. Can you please advise?? Many thanks for this video also.
If the factory reset does not complete or does not accomplish what you desired, you would then try to install Windows new as seen in the last portion of this video :) You can see how to create free Install Media here; ruclips.net/video/g_UhiHScaSI/видео.html. If you cant create your own, you may have to purchase it. You can see an example of a good install media USB in the Repair Tools list here; www.amazon.com/shop/pcmonkey. However, you will want to take care to not delete any software or DATA you wish to keep. You should back that up before reinstalling.
Hi I managed to remove the laptop hard drive from the acer E1 523 model and I will be buying the hard drive. please could you advice what do I to clean the laptop so there is no data before I fit the new hard drive. Do you have a link to download on usb to load windows 10 which is safe to install. This is the first time I have ever done this. Very grateful for your advice and help
Thank you J
You can see how to create Install Media for free here; ruclips.net/video/g_UhiHScaSI/видео.html
Most of the data is stored on the Hard Drive. There usually nothing to clean on the computer if the Hard Drive has been removed.
Jaime, I tried the Keep file reset and it told me I needed 20+ G of free space... Whats a better way since i could only clean up 1-2 G
Can you get more space by cleaning up space as seen here? ruclips.net/video/Dt5_GXotTmE/видео.html

I have a "loop issue" with my Lenovo V110 running Windows 10. It did a Windows update on Sunday, 14 Dec. Since then, it's been stuck on "installing Windows at 64%". I have a feeling my hard drive is damaged but, I followed your video regarding BIOS and changed USF to LEGACY. Still, the installing Windows 64% appears on the screen and I cannot get past that. Please help, thank you😀
Try to reinstall Windows as seen here using install media you can make direct from Microsoft as seen here; ruclips.net/video/g_UhiHScaSI/видео.html
The issue could have just been a bad install.
If that fails, then yes, I would think the hard drive is the issue. Replace it and install Windows to the new one :)
Hello, my lenovo ideapad 330 has had a hard rive failure and attempts endlessly to prepare for automatic repair without ever properly starting up. I am trying to do a full reinstall from an HDD connected via USB but when I go into the boot options and chose to boot from the external hard drive, it still attempts to do an automatic repair which I didnt think it would. Any help on how to get past this would be appreciated. Thank you
If the HDD has failed then it should be replaced. You cant install an OS to a bad HDD. I would try to replace the HDD and then install Windows as seen here; ruclips.net/video/l3AVGlVWUsI/видео.html
hey its Nicholas again. thanks for the referral to the keyboard video. i have one more question, i just reinstalled my windows and i am experiencing a problem where my apps- or the windows drive in general are too slow. is that normal once youve restarted. initially it starts with the windows taking a very loong time to restart, then when i use any app, it is unresponsive every few minutes. what can i do?
Usually, after a new install, the computer is trying to process all the updates at the same time as running your computer. It can slow things down. Try manually running them all quicker as seen here; ruclips.net/video/DDv2gJDjfOM/видео.html
Hey, thank you,

What if we can't even login to get to the start option? The company I was working for canceled my login and now I can't even get in to change the domain or anything.
Will the backend option work on an ideacentre model? I was able to pull up a startup device menu using F12 but all options in it take me back to BIOS. No options for factory reset. I first tried F9 thru F12 before reaching this menu. Shall I try other function keys to find the reset option? Thanks! =)
1. Your computer may not have these options. Does yours have a NOVA button or a pin-hole reset?
2. Does your computer load up to Windows so you can reset from there? If not, what is happening when you try to start your computer?
@@PC_Monkey No NOVA button or pinhole. This is your second video I watch after recommendation from first where I replied regarding the 1962 no OS found error my Lenovo ideacentre pc encountered. Nothing with BIOS has worked as settings there were all set. I was trying to reach the auto repair feature using one of your videos to no avail. I'm either down to HDD issues which I'm reluctant to deal with as I hear no sounds from it that indicate issues. Or, a bootable image install of OS. Your videos have been helpful as I try to ultimately pinpoint issue before fixing. Thanks! =).

Thank you for having this information. I got TWO Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga L13’s by accident. I bought one or my wife and set it up and then she walked in with one from her job. How do I reset this to sell it? I have done the reset twice but it keeps going to the place where I have to log in and answer security questions. I tried to do the long reset and got to the page where it said press escape to not to do the TPM-Or someting meaning to dump all the information I think-and to press F9 to continue but nothing happened when I hit F9 over and over. Then I hit escape by mistake and started all over again. I just want to sell it and have it turn on to the welcome screen for a new owner. Thank you SO MUCH!

Your computer does not boot up to windows successfully for you to reset there?
If not, you would then try to install Windows new as seen in the last portion of this video :) You can see how to create free Install Media here; ruclips.net/video/g_UhiHScaSI/видео.html. If you cannot create your own or prefer to purchase it instead, you can see an example of what you need here; amzn.to/34hzjSc
How do I get to the video description on my mobile phone? You referred us to look to it but not available.
Im not sure what phone you have or what operating system its using so I cant help you. What video link are you looking for?
can i bypass bitlocker in anyway on a lenovo ideapad 5 15iil05
I have an issue where last night, everything was perfectly fine and I was on Chrome, Today I wake up and log into my Lenovo laptop and I find that my downloads (including my games and some of my game data), pictures and captures are gone. I go back into Chrome and I'm signed out and my bookmarks are gone as well. After I re-downloaded some of my stuff again, I restarted my computer to see what would happen and sure enough, my downloads and stuff are gone once again. It's like my computer did a whole reset or something by itself and I'm completely lost as to how this even happened or how to fix this issue. Do you have an explanation for this?
Hi sir ! Good afternoon.
I am struggling to switch my laptop on, it is ASUS X540M.
Problem:
When I push the power button asus Logo is appearing and buffering for some time and suddenly gets blacked out and saying "undoing changes made to your computer" agin and again it is repeating this.
I don't understand why this is happening.
Pls support and suggest what should I do.
For that issue on an Asus computer, refer to this video first; ruclips.net/video/J1ZagkSTcSI/видео.html
Hey- I need help. All my Lenovo will do is open the boot menu that looks like it’s from the 80s. It won’t let me select the boot manager which is the only option there is. Any thoughts?
Have you tried the steps seen here already? ruclips.net/video/2-WDntT-5L8/видео.html
I am trying to reset a computer from my old job that issued this computer that has since gone out of business and it is not giving me the option/step of "just remove my files" or fully clean the drive" how do I get around this?
Will this work for a Lenovo desktop touch screen or just a labtop?
Should work for most Lenovo computers.

Was somewhat helpful. I am still unable to restore my laptop. Its an old Lenovo T60 with win XP professional. I left this company few years a go now and they didnt take the laptop. I was going to give the laptop to a friend but wanted to restore back to factory settings. Any help would be helpful. It has a blue thinkadvantage button, not sure of its purpose. Thank you
1. How did the computer reset fail? What happened?
2. If the factory reset does not complete or does not accomplish what you desired, you would then try to install Windows new as seen in the last portion of this video :) You can see how to create free Install Media here; ruclips.net/video/g_UhiHScaSI/видео.html. If you cant create your own, you may have to purchase it. You can see an example of a good install media USB in the Repair Tools list here; www.amazon.com/shop/pcmonkey.
Hi there I have a Lenovo IdeaPad 320. Ages it’s been very very slow I’ve done an update and now when you sign in it just has a blank screen it will not do anything the whole thing has been a joke since day one I want to factory reset it and see if it’s something I did when setting up how can I do that when I can’t login
If the factory reset wont work, you may have to install Windows new as seen in the last portion of this video.
Thank you!! This is not what I was told to do...
Happy to help :) Always here if needed !!
Hey... I'm having problems so with a quick search, I came across your RUclips videos.
Love your videos. Unfortunately, I still have no luck with my issue and will appreciate your help.
I have a Lenovo Ideapad L340 laptop.
I have randomly lost access to windows (I get the bluescreen error, stating missing files).
I followed some of your videos and managed to get into Bios. I can also get into the Blue screen with the reset, troubleshooting and other options.
All the options seem to fail.
I also went on the Lenovo website and created the recovery boot up thing on USB storage, however, I can't get the laptop to boot from the USB. I tried going on the automatic repair screen and tried recovery by selecting EFI USB as well as the internal storage, HDD recovery and also by selecting My USB Storage but it just boots back into the error screen.
Do you know any other way I can restore my laptop?
My drives are showing up fine in the BIOS screen...
Do you have access to a diagnostic scan as seen here? ruclips.net/video/Q0UqVVcKuM8/видео.html
@@PC_Monkey Thanks for your kind reply.
I managed to get Windows installed by using your method on USB Storage. I left it at that as it was time to go to work but will see how I get on with getting the Lenovo stuff back during the weekend.
@@Abillah1 Glad your all set :) Always here if needed !!
@@PC_Monkey Yeah. Had to rebuild my Plex media server but better than losing my laptop
i need help so on my keyboard my metal piece that keeps in the plastic parts broke and my keyboard is messing up real bad like some of my keys are typing multiple stuff i checked if i had sticky keys on but it is not that then some time my two key spams please help
If your keys have components that are broken or damaged, you should replace the assembly. I usually get my keys on Ebay or www.laptopkeys.com/. If you cannot find a loose key for sale, you may have to purchase a keyboard and take a key from there. If your keys are not working but are not mechanically broken, troubleshoot them as seen here; ruclips.net/video/wqrchfpdJ_w/видео.html.
