    Can't access the bios on my m14 no matter how many times I mash my F2 key. My F2 is not faulty as I have tested it.

    Anyone got any ideas on how to fix this?

    May be a problem with your keyboard. Try a external one to see if it will work then.

    Same suggestion from me, try an external keyboard. It's not common that they don't make it into the BIOS unless you have a really fast POST.
