On a Lenovo Thinkpad s440 :
 - Impossible to access BIOS/UEFI screen (F1 or Fn+F1)
 - Impossible to access boot device menu (F12 or Fn+F12)

If the laptop boots on Windows (BIOS corrupted by live USB session), you can use the official "BIOS Update Utility" provided by Lenovo to recover the BIOS.

(link for Thinkpad S440 on Windows 8 : https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/ru/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-s-series-laptops/thinkpad-s440/downloads/ds036070)

Should work for most laptop that boot on windows.

/!\ USE A BIOS UPDATE THAT MATCH YOUR LAPTOP MODEL AND OS VERSION /!\
