Worked fine this morning. Get back home, plug it in, gives me a weird line on startup saying I'm using a battery that isn't original. Whatever. Try to tell it to start anyway.

Everytime I try to start it, I get the Lenovo logo, then it flashes

Reset System

And restarts.

What do?

What's wrong with GRUB? I use it all the time. Sounds like a dead BIOS battery. You get about 3 or so years out of one and then it needs replaced.

Nothing is wrong with GRUB. However, the symptoms he's describing are one that GRUB will exhibit if something gets messed up in the bootloader options.

That the device will boot from a USB stick seems to indicate that the BIOS battery is good.
