    Hi folks!
    So today i tried to make all necessary updates on colleagues SL510, it came without OS so he got Win7 Ultimate installed, but no drivers from Lenovo and no ThinkVantage tools either.
    So i went ahead and downloaded ThinkVantage from Lenovos website and downloaded all updates, all drivers and ran the update utility, everything worked fine until very end - when updating and writing bios PC went black, fan running full force, laptop being powered on but with black screen with indication on power button and led indicator under wifi.
    I tried to press power button and count to 15, nothing, its simply impossible to turn off the machine.
    What to do? Its plugged into power outlet atm.
    Thanks!

    Nevermind, unplugged it, removed battery for minute, placed it back, switched on, it ran Win updates, restarted, now working fine, checked Lenovo update status - everything worked fine, including Bios.
    Weird.

    Oh well, its working now :)!
