Did I just bricked my laptop? I reinstalled ubuntu but after rebooting it would fall into bootloop with a "reset system" message. In the tutorial I read that sometimes it helps to enable secure boot, well I did that but now I can't get into BIOS/UEFI at all. Laptop: lenovo thinkpad x1 carbon 3rd Anyone could help somehow?

I looked up the TP00061B and selected 3rd gen, I found this: https://download.lenovo.com/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/x1_carbon3_hmm_en_sp40g55065_01.pdf

Looks like there's a coin cell battery in there, so you can remove it to reset the CMOS. I'm not sure how relevant this video is to your exact model, but I'm sure you can figure it out using this as a base if you're comfortable working on computers generally: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=secIrlXFy5k

Edit: Oh, I see you got it! Nice ๐Ÿ™Œ Happy computing!
