My Lenovo Idepad S205 seems to be in a worse situation than in the question here.

Unfortunately the answer given there does not solve the problem.

The laptop just boot cycles. It will boot my USB stick to a live copy of Ubuntu and I've run boot-repair but with no luck.

boot-repair output here

I've managed to get the message that flashes up on boot and it is as follows.

Could not open "\EFI\BOOT\fallback.efi": 14
Failed to open \EFI\BOOT\grubx64.efi - 800000000000000E
Failed to load image
Failed to open \EFI\BOOT\MokManager.efi - 800000000000000E
Failed to load image

Try disabling Secure Boot. If that doesn't help, check the following questions/answers:

These questions all include the same error message you've reported, but I haven't studied them carefully enough to judge how useful they'd be to your situation. Chances are one of them will help, though.

(AN OTHER EASY SOLUTİON) The easiest way if you don’t want write some codes etc., you can also take off the Hard Drive from the laptop and connect to any desktop known working and make the installation from that desktop and after the intallation etc. is done you can reconnect your hard drive to your laptop. İf you have a network issue you can realign network and HDD in place from bios boot menu…

I'm not very sure but a re-partitioning of hard disk may solve this problem. I also struck with this problem. I use lenovo 510p with windows 8.1 pre-installed. After re-partitioning the harddisk and re-running the ubuntu 14.04 setup does the job. In next boot change the boot priority to hard-disk or ubuntu.
