(Get the code!)
Just wanted to join in and say that I am also affected by this, the exact same way as everyone else. I updated to ubuntu 17.10 and my bios died.
Like others, I also changed the CMOS battery etc. It was not a battery problem.
I followed user Marcin Ciosek's work around that he posted on the lenovo forums and was able to fix my installation. But the bios is ofcourse still bricked.
I've never experienced this before, I thought it not possible for an OS to brick a bios chip. If anyone knows how exactly this happened let us know.
