     @nixCraft I'll have to check later. I'm visiting the family. I'll have a look when I get home.

     @nixCraft It seema the laptop I am looking at is slightly different. I am looking at a A532 (YLKW)
     Theirs is a AH532 (YLKV).
     This laptop has a bios revision of 1.10.

     Pointing out the CMOS reset is below the memory was a huge help. At least the system boots again. In stead of showing the list as in their article, the laptop boots directly into the operating system.

     I suppose this is because UEFI auto recovery and a /EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI file present on the EFI partition on the hard disk.
