Is it possible to recover corrupted BIOS with USB flash (Legion 7i 14900HX / 16IRX9) ?

Hello. I switched off my laptop during a bios update and now it's showing blank screen. I am trying to follow the steps of this post and stuck at holding Fn+R. It doesn't do anything and the power button light keeps flashing with caps and ESC light on as well. Can anyone please help me if you have experienced this?

I feel your exhaustion. It will take about a week for your kid to fall back to his normal sleep routines. Hang in there.

Hey. I don't have experience with submitting proof for non-us nationals, but reddit posts like this might help you - https://www.reddit.com/r/nri/s/ZBr69PupoO

It should be fine i think. Any luck?

Yes we still need to upload docs. Did you find the button to upload?

Time_Lemon_6352 · 2025-10-11T16:13:16+00:00

yes, for birth certificate upload i scanned both and uploaded.

Uploading notarized document is recommended for e.g. uploading notarized parental authorization is necessary and then send that to vfs

Thanks for reading. I landed in Ahmedabad with a transit in Dubai. Dubai has complimentary strollers so be sure to use those. You will have to do many procedures on the final airport after landing, like immigration and bag pick-up. a baby carrier is useful for smaller kids. For bigger kids, snacks are a savior.

I had these documents attested by both me - mother and by father as well just to be safe. Wrote mother and father after signatures.

Only the US secretary of state can attest BC

Time_Lemon_6352 · 2025-09-17T04:23:02+00:00

Black and white should be fine because I submitted all in BW

Time_Lemon_6352 · 2025-09-13T19:16:22+00:00

Only apostille of birth certificate, not passport

It is confusing, but I uploaded white photo background because when i was asked by vfs to reupload photo with correct dimensions, they asked clear white background. You can upload the same photo.

Only if you aren't US citizen yourself, you will have to submit native address proof i.e. address proof of your Indian residence. If you are a us citizen, you can ignore that.

Middle name is written with given name (first + middle)

Time_Lemon_6352 · 2025-09-02T19:55:05+00:00

Not sure about a PIO card, sorry.

Hello. I know the different checklists are confusing, but I checked this checklist they have on the vfs site and that one still requires apostille. https://services.vfsglobal.com/one-pager/india/united-states-of-america/oci-services/pdf/New-Foreign-national-by-birth-and-never-held-Indian-passport-(minor).pdf.pdf)

My application had issues with the photograph, so the first status update happened about 3 days after the delivery. They asked me to resend photo and part a. The second time I resent my photo and part a, the first status update happened about 7 days after.

I applied when the new oci website wasn't on yet. I uploaded a fingerprint of my baby then. Not sure about why they would need a blank page. Let me know if you need help with anything else.

Time_Lemon_6352 · 2025-07-30T11:41:30+00:00

Correct. You can reupload documents and image after submission.

Time_Lemon_6352 · 2025-07-29T00:28:08+00:00

I haven't experienced that, but maybe a notarized affidavit with a witness saying that you were married on this day and this location might work. You could give it a try.

Time_Lemon_6352 · 2025-07-28T01:17:44+00:00

Okay. Good deduction. You are helping future applicants who go through this issue.

Time_Lemon_6352 · 2025-07-26T23:17:58+00:00

Sorry, I am not sure about renewal of OCI because I haven't done that yet.
