Accessing the BIOS of a Lenovo ThinkPad Solved

Question

Hello,   I cannot access the BIOS of my Lenovo ThinkPad SL510. No matter how many times I press F1, F2, ENTER, SHIFT, etc., nothing happens. It stays stuck at the startup with the message "To interrupt normal startup, press the blue ThinkVantage button." I really need your help. Please, help me. I look forward to a favorable response and send you my sincere regards. Thank you Configuration: Windows / Chrome 83.0.4103.116

Hello,  Lenovo laptops sometimes have a specific key. The message tells you "press the blue ThinkVantage button" Do you not have this blue key on the left under the power button?  This should give access to recovery options and the BIOS, I think.

Try tapping right at startup on "ThinkVantage" And / or On F1 to tap (see if you need to combine it with Fn that you hold down)  I will try to find the manual in the meantime.  -- Auto message If you're here, it's because you don't know, so... ;-) Mini Reminder to the volunteers who help you: Reply, Respect, Politeness,...

Moreover, from message 4  which Windows is it under? (sometimes under Windows 10, we need to disable the fast startup for key actions to be registered) What is it for in the BIOS?

Summary:  > Your PC seems to have Windows crashing (first impression) > You're trying to access the BIOS because your installation USB or CD doesn't launch automatically. > Problem accessing the BIOS, keys like "ThinkVantage" or "F1" have no reaction, whether combined with Fn or not, and many other F... trying in vain. > Strange, the PC remains on the page "To interrupt normal startup, press the blue ThinkVantage button." No reaction from this page. It never goes further, no Windows startup options in "safe mode" or other modes.  ---------------------------------------------- A real reset of the BIOS needs to be done to see if the situation can be resolved.  > Unplugged from the power source  > Removed battery  > Dismantle the bottom of the PC to access the BIOS battery located under the cover surrounding the touchpad. Refer to this video, but only do what's necessary to remove the cover around the touchpad: (do it better than him, do not force if it resists; if it does, it means a screw has been forgotten or not fully loosened. Also, be careful not to pull the cover too far so as not to damage any connections.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ex2ymVJMvAs  > We want to access the BIOS battery outlined in red in the following image:   > Disconnect this battery  > Hold down the power button for 1 minute  > Reinsert the battery (close)  > Reconnect the power supply (only)  > Try to access the BIOS again (if OK, set the date and time first)  (reinsert the battery afterwards.)  The goal is to cut off the BIOS power supply, discharge any residual electricity, to reset it. Hoping to regain access to the BIOS, or even that Windows launches correctly, as it seems to be stuck even before starting.
