Tried that as well but that as well uses usb boot so that is also net detecting
How do you reset the firmware ?
Factory defaults tried that
Power through usb and the same on battery
Same I have already given up on it as well
I have completed the windows setup with the usual 3 partition and I used Ubuntu as well but booting is not the problem, the bios just doesn't seem to pick up the pendrive
Tried that as well no luck
The only other option is diagnostics that also doesnt work
It's gpt due to the disk management, I went with it.
I just got it this monday
The usb port is working fine for normal transfers . The bios just doesn't wanna pick it . I tried with a friends hp laptop it works fine on his.
i enabled it to the boot order but the laptop is not picking it up
No options for csm , no usb initialisation as well
I can see the windows boot manager, the nvme sdd and pxe boot thats it
Tried with a SanDisk and that also doesnt work
Tried right now with a SanDisk with just Ubuntu using Rufus but that also does not show up
Not with a uefi one , a legacy one I never had to care about since mbr would only work. And I created the ventoy mbr on the old laptop, and if that doesn't show up means it is strange . Though one more thing I found odd was the efi partition does not show up on the file explorer in the new laptop but shows up on the old one.
Can usb ports die if you can transfer files through it ?. The bios is also what I thought so iam lost with that.
As the title says, my bootable usb is not showing up in the boot menu for my ThinkPad e14 AMD ryzen 5 7530u , gen 5 I think. I have disabled secure boot in the uefi and disabled fast startup in windows. Am I missing anything ? Note: this is my first time using a uefi bios so I don't know if there are any other kinks to mess with .
Edit : I contacted lenovo support for the above issue but even they couldn't find the answer so I guess won't be using linux for this laptop. But since it's for uni I guess it's fine. I will just use WSL
Edit 2: Reinstalled the bios , the usb boots now . Finally slapped opensuse on it and now running it
Well i started my B tech course this year, I am looking for a laptop for my use case. I am using linux as a main os for 3 years.
The laptop which i currently use is a Dell Inspiron N5110. Its a pretty old machine so i am currently looking for an upgrade.
Things which I do :
- Read documents
- Watch videos and listen to music
- Light coding
- Tinker with almost everything
- Try new software if i can.
I REALLY need a a laptop with good cooling and battery life like 5 hours is fine.
