So I tried to copy the file .bin to the flash drive but nothing happens. Even renaming the file to correct name doesn't help. Is it possible to recover the bios or do I need to replace the bios chip?

thank you and have a nice day

I have also tried to copy the VIWGPX64.FD file on to the flash drive, laptop runs with fan to max speed, then shuts off, but no effect.

Update (12/4/2017)

I have received the BIOS chip for Lenovo G500 today. I have changed the chip sucessfully, but nothing changed. Laptop can't be powered on normally, only with FN key + B key pressed. Same thing was happening before BIOS chip change. I haven't done anything more with laptop, before I will hear some advice from you.
