Public bug reported: On Friday 7 Sep. a bios update was released through ubuntu software center in Ubuntu 18.04. I've attached a screenshot of the update to this bug report.
I've applied the update to a Lenovo Thinkpad L560 AND a Lenovo Thinkpad L570 and after rebooting both computers started beeping and they died. Now both laptop shows only a black screen and all the Lenovo suggested procedures to restore the BIOS were unfruitful. The only solution appears to send back the laptops to be repaired. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: bios lenovo ubuntu ** Attachment added: "The bios update screenshot" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1791589/+attachment/5186996/+files/Schermata%20da%202018-09-10%2010-28-32.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1791589 Title: [Lenovo Thinkpad L560/L570] Latest ubuntu bios upgrade bricks the computer To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1791589/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
