My laptop, a Lenovo S20, had not suffered any hits as far as I know, and was purchased a little less than a month ago for my school work, will not work properly, the screen has white static and dead green spots all over it, it will occasionally show a screen that should happen (Recovery screen, password screen, etc.) But for only a couple of seconds.
(Additional detail: The laptop has Windows 8.1 installed on it)
P.S I apologize for any grammar/spelling mistakes, English is a rather difficult language to learn at fifteen.

usually Esc, Del, F1 or F2 key at system post during power up.) Default the settings?
