Hi everyone,

I'm trying to access the BIOS of my Lenovo Ideapad 100 -15iby to no avail. Watched this video and tried to repeat the process four times with no success. How To Enter BIOS Setup and Boot Menu on a Lenovo Ideapad Laptop and Disable UEFI - YouTube

Grateful for your help as always

Just keep tapping F2 without the Fn key

Press the tiny Novo button on the side of your computer (you might need a paperclip) to enter the BIOS.

Sorry, nothing is working. Tried both options. It won't let me in.

Ensure your computer powered off completely, not hibernating. Then retry the Novo button. You must press it with the computer powered off.

You also might try setting Fast Startup off and then pressing Fn + F2 (or F2) several times at boot up.

If using the NOVO button, you would turn on the computer with that and NOT the power button the laptop. That should by pass and offer you Setup (Bios) to boot into.
You can also CLEAR the CMOS by removing the CMOS Battery
