Hi Sophc,

You have done good job trying to solve the issue. Please contact the manufacturer’s support and ask for some button combination that may serve you. Some models have a system restore menu that may restore PC to factory settings, but also affects stored data. Check if pressing CTRL + F11 works.
If you have important data stored in the hard drive, please remove the hard drive and connect it in a desktop PC. Backup all important information. Have in mind that opening the PC will void warranty, so you should firstly contact the seller, if the laptop is still under warranty.

Hope this helps
