[SOLVED] Guys what to do if you fuck up your laptop’s bios and it shows caps lock blinking

[hardy igloo]

At first when i rebooted, it showed there is no os and i gotta install one. I removed my battery and kept it in and turned on my laptop. Now it just shows blank screen!

[formal estuary]

have you tried charging it?

[hardy igloo]

I always keep my laptop charged

It is running and doing fine but no screen

[formal estuary]

and you can't acces the bios?

[hardy igloo]

I tried pressing my esc
It doesn’t show anything

[formal estuary]

do you have a secondary screen somewhere? where you can test the functioning of the laptop itself

[hardy igloo]

Yeah i do

[formal estuary]

try using that

[hardy igloo]

I mean i fucked up and my parents will beat me if i say them that 💀

[formal estuary]

this maybe a hail mary but is the screen connected to the laptop itself, maybe somewhere a wire is loose

[formal estuary]

that is really fucked up

[hardy igloo]

I have gone to youtube and searched the issue
My caps is blinking and my network key button is orange
Turns out my bios is fucked and i gotta recover it

[muted shore]

Did you unplug the cable for your display

[hardy igloo]

You mean charger?

[muted shore]

No

Did you unplug your display cables somehow

[hardy igloo]

I use a laptop

[muted shore]

Usually two ribbon cables at the top left of the motherboard

[muted shore]

Yeahhhhhh

[hardy igloo]

Oh I didn’t open my laptop yet

I am not confident

[muted shore]

Well

Does anything show up when you turn it on

[ember zinc]

🧱

can you access another pc?

@hardy igloo

[hardy igloo]

I do have my dad's laptop
He usesnit for office so i need his perms

[ember zinc]

can you try flashing a usb with fedora on it?

how big is your flash drve?

[hardy igloo]

Nope
Except blank screen which is turned on
Not the blank screen which is turned off

[hardy igloo]

64gb

I used it for dual booting

[ember zinc]

can you try flashing the usb with the fedora iso?

[hardy igloo]

Why fedora tho?
I could try if i got permission

[ember zinc]

because fedora works

[hardy igloo]

Uh ok

[hardy igloo]

After that, what?

I mean even bios isn't even coming

[ember zinc]

its not the bios

you probably messed up the install

and after that, you use fedora hapoily

because fedora is the best distro

[hardy igloo]

Ok so i once installed arch with windows efi partition
So i tried to get back windows and when i configured grub and rebooted, this happened

[ember zinc]

its telling you to repair windows right?

[hardy igloo]

It showed there is no os and i need to install one
But then when i removed battery and put it back to turn on, blank screen is showing

[ember zinc]

ok, so just do what I said and flash the fedora iso to your usb

[hardy igloo]

Mhm
Ok
I picked arch for CS
So can i switch to arch later?

[ember zinc]

arch for CS?

[ember zinc]

sure but I dont know why you would

[hardy igloo]

Heard debian, opensuse and arch were good choices

[ember zinc]

fedora is better

but whatever

[hardy igloo]

Ok kewl

[hardy igloo]

I removed my battery and accessed bios after turning on with charger

@ember zinc @muted shore

[ember zinc]

ok, so do what I said

[hardy igloo]
