This is unacceptable, right now my Lenovo G50-80 is a brick.

USB Boot does not work.
DVD Boot does not work.
BIOS Boot menu doesn't autodetect changes on the hard drive EFI paths.

And during an update grub stopped working, it reported a syscall error of I/O and on reboot I couldn't start the computer anymore. I would normally boot a live cd and boot-repair but guess what UEFI USB Boot does not work and Legacy capabilities won't work either.

And reprogramming the BIOS chip is not a viable solution by the way...
