Presario Laptop 12XL403
Please forgive me if I am asking in the wrong place or indeed if I am the
only person not to know the answer to my problem! How do I get into the FULL BIOS for this computer? I can only see a very simple BIOS (pressing F10) and I have on order a new hard disk whih (I assume) I will need to set up. Are there a couple of pins to short or something? Many thanks. Rob |

Rob,
There is no full BIOS. This is a Presario. That said, there is no setup for a hard drive on a Presario either. They auto-detect. Tom "Rob" wrote in message ...

Thanks, Tom
By the way, do you happen to know how to get the screen off so that I can replace it with one that is less scratched? I'm just a little wary of pulling anything too hard!! Rob. |

No, not off the top of my head. Hopefully the service guide is still on
