According to Lenovo, try this:

Take out the battery, power lead and any other peripherals attached to the laptop.  Press and hold down the power key for 10 seconds.  Plug in the power lead only (No battery apparently).

According to this advice F2 enters the BIOS.  However F12 gives you a choice of boot device.

Let us know how you get on.

It doesn't  seem to work
Reading the comments it seems that the only consistent key is F12 for boot choice.

Have a look at this:
