Thank you SOOOOOooooooo much!!!! I literally struggle for 2 whole days trying to figure out how to do the hard reset (Lenovo U310 IdeaPad) until I found your video. Already doing it!!! Thanks a bunch again !!
Thank you for reminding me about the button on the side! :) Your instructions were simple, direct and easy to follow...[ wow, 1+ million views! Didn't think that many people had the Lenovo G50 ]
Thank you so much for this, this helped me when my laptop was stuck on the automatic repair loop and I just wanted to get rid of everything on my laptop because it was starting to slow down. Thank you so much.
Quick question, the BIOS doesn't detect the HDD, Does this method works with a new HDD ? or all the recovery files are stored on the old one?

I was days and days looking for solutions, and intantaba and did not work ... nothing I saw your video, and it was the only solution, thank you very much for your video, I like and I subscribe my friend! greetings from Chile
I didn't even know about the button, so thank you, but no matter what I do, my laptop is still stuck on the Lenovo screen. I don't want to do a a full reset, but I do want my Lenovo screen to stop loading. I don't know if pressing any of the F1 through 12 buttons would work, but since those buttons don't work on my laptop anyway, I feel I'm a little screwed.
Adam, it sounds like you'll need what's called "Recovery Media" to restore your laptop as something has gone wrong with the hard drive. You can order a recovery disk or usb stick from Lenovo by following links on this page: support.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/ht035659 It might be free to order or it might be $12, depending on your system.
@@LaptopReviewsDotCom Unfortunately it did not work for me. The Laptop after doing it's recovery process after restoring from Initial backup, gave me a bunch of errors and takes to me reset screen again in a loop. Is there a way to reinstall windows any other way?
OMG THANK GOD U SAVED MY LIFE I COULDN'T USE THE COMPUTER FOR SOO LONG BECAUSE I FREAKIIN FORGOT MY PASSWORD AND I COULDN'T LOG IN SOO LUCKY I RESTARTED
When I get to the recovery menu and select restore from initial backup and click next it says : the program cannot find the initial backup image. This function is currently unavailable. What do i do?
Hello, Can you help me please? My PC after the the "loading files" happen it yhe screen turns black and suddenly the screen says "Your Pc run into problem need to restart " and suddenly turn to black again and shows the Lenovo logo "Automatic Repair" but it show nothing but black screen again. What should I DO?
ITS NOT WORKING FOR MY LENOVO LAPTOP, IT LOADING THE SYSTEM NORMALLY WITHOUT SHOWING ANY INFORMATION AS STATED IN THE VIDEO. WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO REFORMAT MY LAPTOP ?
OMG!!!! I think I have no hope for my laptop because I clean my laptop with the app like CCleaner and then I clicked on some of my apps and it wont open then I restart it when I restart it and it is stuck at the loading screen like 10mins and I started panicing and I searched on youtube and I clicked on this video. And it works now men this video is worth my time. And also the loading its fast its like 20mins and the restore/reset is done!! :) :)
So, I have read comments and I have 600€ worth lenovo laptop, but im afraid that it just goes to blue screen and it is R. I. P 600€ so do you recommend to do this because im gonna reboot what happened
I swear if this works!!! Ill be so glad i found you! Its doing the restoration... I was about to throw the computer down the steps before i found this vid😿
you could find a paper clip and uncurl it to fit in there. But yeah, either way it's a pain. On the plus side, you'll never accidentally press the restore button!

I did this, system recovery option appeared, pushed enter to intialize it, it went to Lenovo intial screen with logo and loading ring is spinning. It never get to that filling bar you have on your video. Any ideas?
The recovery page does not come up in my system.After selecting the system recovery, it is directly goes to the windows 8 program. would you please help me how to repair it?
DAMN! THANK YOU.I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING THIS KIND OF VIDEO.ACTUALLY, I HAVE AN ERROR, IE;I WAS UNABLE TO INSTALL ANY ADOBE PRODUCTS,NOR ANY ANTIVIRUS PROGRAMME.I HAVE REINSTALED WINDOWS SEVERAL TIMES AND IT IS NO USE.SAME PROBLEM EXISTS EVERY TIME
I'm doing this on a Lenovo Y410P, I got the One key. Following the steps but after pressing the button and the laptop boots up it just stays at the turquoise screen. The reason I am doing this is because my laptop is stuck at the lenovo screen and I can do a thing about it. What should I do?
If I replace HD with a solid state HD, can I restore the laptop to the initial configuration ...? Or do I have to reinstall Windows from an external stick or external HD?
I just bought a refurbished Lenovo x131e ThinkPad and the F buttons do not work and video I transferred in from my phone is choppy. Any advice you can give me I would appreciate, can this easily be fixed. Thank you.
Thanks I guess the best way to explain it is the way Jose Mercado said it I would have had to buy a new laptop because it was in a repair loop thanks man this helped alot...
can you tell me how to factory restore a len. b575 that requires a disk . I don't have a disk but I hear you can use the 1-2 button recovery system . Does that 'sound familiar or what is the remedy for restoring this pc.
If it never gets past that first step you should contact Lenovo support and request recovery media (either a DVD or USB stick), that is an alternate method of restoring your computer to factory settings if the OneKey recovery is not working. You can find the ordering and contact information here: support.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/ht035659
my lenovo B50 window 8 i tried to reset the system after pressing the small button and the display came out i selected the (system Recovery) my laptop just display as normal nothing like resetting or formatting what should i do please reply 😢
Vic Lonsdale yea same for me. My laptops screen is broken, so I have used my other screen. And now I am not available to recover my pc for older version becouse my screen does not work..
Hey can you help when I press restore system it shows the Lenovo logo then it shows a black screen and then it shows the Lenovo logo again and then it gets stuck in a loop can you pls help
I don't what I did wrong when I turned on my laptop. It got stuck on the splash screen There appears my name and the BLOQUEADO in Spanish and inmediately all the creen turns light blue. If I press the One Key Recovery System button, will I lose all the contents I have in my laptop?
If you factory restore your laptop you will lose all files and programs you have on your laptop. However, when you restore there is an option to keep files so pay attention during the restore process and make sure to select "Keep files and programs"
You should be able to at least initiate the restore by plugging into an external monitor. It sounds like Windows doesn't want to switch to external monitor, but if you can't see the laptop monitor you cannot play around in Windows to fix that. There should be an Function (Fn) button to toggle display, I think F8, so you could try pushing that to see if it switches to external. Sometimes things like removing / disconnecting the battery and then rebooting will help you then be able to connect to external display.
i followed all the steps but when i initiate system recovery, it says "your pc ran into a problem" and restarts like normal like nothing happened. Pls i need help.
sir if i do this my lenovo have a chance to back on its original os? i upgraded my os to windows 10 but there's a lot of drivers don't match with windows 10 thanks a lot
