Perform a hard reset
When you meet the problem that no boot device is detected, you can try to perform a hard reset. A hard or forced reset erases all information in the computer memory and might restore functionality. Resetting your computer forces the system to clear and reestablish the software connections between the BIOS and the hardware. To perform a hard reset, you should do the following steps:
Step 1. Turn off the computer. Remove the computer from any port replicator or docking station.
Step 2. Disconnect all external devices from your computer, unplug the AC adapter from the computer.
Step 3. Remove the battery from the battery compartment.
Step 4. Press and hold down the Power button for about 15 seconds to drain any residual electrical charge from the capacitors that protect the memory.
Step 5. Insert the battery, and plug the AC adapter back into the computer, but do not connect any of the peripheral devices such as USB storage devices, external displays, printers, etc.
Step 6. Turn on the computer. If a start menu opens, select Start Windows Normally with arrow keys and press Enter.
