About eight months into a gruelling kitchen renovation project (I can also tell you which builder NOT to use…), I had rescheduled the kitchen delivery from IKEA and the fronts from Plykea multiple times, and was at the end of my tether. Losing faith in my amateur design ever fitting a space whose likely ultimate  dimensions seemed to change daily; so tired of having people I didn’t like, trust or respect in my house every day. There was zero good faith input into the project (which I as a sole adult resident was juggling with working full time), and as a result my enthusiasm for the project was draining away like the washing up water down the plughole in the (second floor!) bath. Trying to manage for an ever-shifting likely installation date, I read the reviews of IKEA’s ‘own’ (ie subcontracted) service and took the decision not to subject the last threads of my sanity to that. I came on here and within moments my mind was made up to approach Top Marx kitchens. With my budget wearing as thin as my will to cook another family meal on one travel hob/in the microwave, though, I feared I wouldn’t be able to afford such an obviously premium service, and was resigned to filing the quote in the ’if only’ folder. Lo and behold, the prompt and courteous email response containing MY ONLY UNDER-BUDGET QUOTE OF THE WHOLE JOB was the first delight of my experience with John and Gabi. The minute John came round I felt for the first time like there was someone on my team. His work is of an exceptional quality, he’s tidy, reliable, quick, honest, and takes not only an honourable approach to but also a real pride in his work. Both of them are responsive and collaborative, and I cannot overstate the positive impact they had on our house and our lives. John responded creatively and thriftily to the (many!!) challenges that emerged throughout the installation, and we are all thrilled with the result. If I were ever going to do a kitchen again, I would enlist John from the very beginning, as he combines his practical and pragmatic approach and great technical skills with both an engineer’s problem-solving ability and a keen eye for aesthetics and design. 11/10 ️

    • You are seeing the Lenovo logo because that  is generated by the system's firmware, known as the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) This is part of the Power-On Self-Test (POST) process, which checks basic hardware functionality. If the system fails to proceed past the logo screen, it could indicate that the BIOS/UEFI cannot locate or access the bootable operating system. This is often due to:  If the drive has failed then  the BIOS won't find the necessary files to load the OS.  Even if the SSD is operational, bootloader corruption could cause the same issue.  Misconfigured boot order or settings in the BIOS/UEFI might prevent booting.   Diagnosing SSD Failure: To confirm whether the SSD is the problem: Enter the BIOS/UEFI settings (usually by pressing a key like F2, DEL, or ESC during startup). Check if the SSD is detected in the storage or boot section. Run any available diagnostics tools in the BIOS. If the SSD isn't recognized, it's likely failed or has a loose connection. Alternatively, you can boot the system using a live USB or external OS to verify SSD accessibility.
