HELP!

Arxon. I have a Asus G50v. read through your post, so I figured I would try on my laptop and see what the bios key was on mine, it was F2. I started pushing it slowly at soon as I hit the power button. I got a AMI Bios screen saying entering setup.

One note, an external keyboard will not work, I tried hiting F2 on a USB keyboard and it does not recognize it. So if there is something wrong with the F2 key on the internal keyboard that might be what is stopping you.

only ideas I have.

ya that would suck a lot.

I assume that if you get into windows you have verified that the F2 key is working somehow?

Just not sure how to get you in to the bios. There has to be some kind of disconnect between the key push and the motherboard realizing it.

well at least it let you.

I still think it might be a bad key, but it working now is even stranger.
