Home / I-Opener Areas / I-Opener Technical Stuff Can't get into bios, tried everything

Can't get into bios, tried everything (modified 0 times) LouM Profile | Email I have been unable to get into the bios using everything mentioned in previous posts. They include - hitting ctrl-alt-delete, hitting tab numerous times, holding down ctrl/alt/delete while botting, tab/esc and tab/shift. I tried anything mentioned in previous posts. I think I have a version 1 since there is no goo on the bios and it didn't have the new "hack proof" precautions. The only thing that seems to have any effect is hitting ctrl/alt/delete numerous times, after several attempts all I get is a screen with light blue and white lines. The only thing(s) I am probably doing different then most is that I don't have a ps/2 splitter so I am booting it with just a keyboard and no mouse and I don't have the jumper for the hard drive I'm using. I don't think that has anything to do with it though??? Any ideas on what it could be? Any ideas and suggestions would be appreciated, I can't wait to get this shiit running it's like getting a new paint job for a car that won't run. 01-29-2001 19:46:25

RE:Can't get into bios, tried everything (modified 0 times) Cyberswine Profile I had to push <ctrl><alt><esc> TWICE to get into my V1 BIOS. If I tried THREE times it would go into the BIOS but it would also freeze up leaving me unable to move around in the BIOS menus. This also works with a badflash BIOS altough the screen prompts to push the DEL key! Hope this helps... 01-29-2001 19:59:15

RE:Can't get into bios, tried everything (modified 0 times) ckbone Profile A standard keyboard won't work plugged directly into the I-Opener. You need a proper splitter.......plug the std keyboard into the mouse connection.....the mouse into the keyboard connection. Not all splitters work on the I-Opener. Make sure you get one that is marked keyboard/mouse. My Thinkpad splitter won't work on my I-Opener. 01-30-2001 04:29:50

RE:Can't get into bios, tried everything (modified 0 times) BadFlash Profile | Email If you have a V5 without the patched bios you won't get into bios setup, you need the patch bios. If you have the patched bios, just do what these folks say. It will work. 01-30-2001 10:19:49
