    Hello guys,

    I have a little problem with my clevo W251HUQ.
    I expose my problem, but I know, I'm ing retard.

    Actualy, I've flashed my system bios before EC, so the laptop doesn't boot anymore.
    LED just light-up 1sec and shutdown.
    What I suppose to do?
    Is any hotkey for recovery or something?
    Sorry for my bad english and thanks by advance.

    Hopefully someone else may have a solution for you.
    As far as I know, there is nothing you can do. You will need to return your laptop to the supplier in order to get it re-flashed.
    Not good :(

    You will need to contact your retailer for support on it, there isn't anything you can do yourself after it's been bricked :(

    Thanks for the answer.
    It's not full bricked, like I said, the system boot for 1sec and shutdown.
    That's change anything, or its dead anyway?

    If you are comfortable in taking out your motherboard CMOS battery and leaving it out for 15min or so then putting it back in... go for it. It is worth a try.

    For info on doing this download the Service manual.. :)

    Glad you got it fixed. I was about to throw you a lifesaver because I've been in the same situation before. For those who run into this problem, I fixed mine by removing the battery and all memory modules and re-seating everything 10 minutes later. Removing the CMOS is another way, but this may prove to be difficult depending on the model of your Clevo/Sager.
