    Hi, I have a R61.
    Recently, I changed the boot up from quick boot to diagnostic and now I want to change it back to quick boot.
    However, when bootup starts and says press thinkvantage blue button to access the settings page, blue button does not respond. Instead,
    diagnostics keep going until something like RAM test is finished and goes
    right into the screen where it says 'press F11 to access recovery services".
    So basically, it does not let me use the blue vantage button to access
    the BIOS.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks

    by the way, any thoughts on Rescue and Recovery?
    I am debating whether or not it's worth it to keep it or use windows system restore instead.

    Try pressing F1 to enter the BIOS.
