- obtain the working BIOS image from Lenovo site. Usually BIOS is shipped in a self-extracting windows binary; if you're on Linux you can use 7z to extract it. You only need the BIOS image itself, which is exactly 1MB in size and is typically called KIUN0XXX.ROM
- format a USB flash drive or an SD card to FAT filesystem. (Both FAT16 and FAT32 should do.) Do not partition it, just make the whole drive a single filesystem. No boot sector is neccessary.
- put the BIOS image at the root directory of the flash drive under name KIUN0IA32.FD.
- turn off the netbook
- unplug the power cord
- pull out the battery
- insert the flash drive / SD card in the corresponding slot
- press and hold Fn-B key combination
- while holding Fn-B, plug in the power cord
- still holding Fn-B, press Power button
- the computer will spin up the fan but the screen will remain black
- the computer will beep
- if it finds the appropriate file, it'll beep again, read it in, and will start flashing the BIOS beeping every few seconds
- once complete (under 1 min), it'll reboot itself
- voila, verify that it now boots correctly, shut it down, assemble the battery and start hacking anew
