You may have tried all these, but:

- power off
- power on
- immediately start tapping XX at one second intervals
- do not stop tapping until something has obviously happened
- if what happened was useful, go check it out
- otherwise go to step 1

... where "XX" is, in turn, one of F12, F11, F10, F9, F8, F4, F1,
Escape, Delete. Try the above process with each key in turn. Then If no
joy, try the same keys again, but with SHIFT held down. For the
function keys, try with and without the "Fn" key pressed. Feel free to
try all the other function keys. Lenovo generally uses F12 (Fn-F12).

Keep your eyes glued to the screen, and if anything appears, stop
tapping :-) Ideally one of these will bring up a boot menu of some
sort. If you do get a message, read it very carefully before
experimenting with it; sometimes there are potentially destructive
tools behind these boot menus, like disk managers.

Oh - and if something works, write it down immediately, because in the
welter of different things tried, you will never remember it for sure
afterwards :-)
