    I have a Dell L501x which has suffered a failed bios flash in the past so was wondering if anyone knows what the key combo is to invoke the bios recovery using the bootable USB drive with DOS and crisdisk.
    I have another good motherboard (failed nvidia chip) which i'm using currently but cannot find the key combo to get this motherboard to start the blind flash process.
    I've tried removing the battery, pressing 'Fn+B' then inserting the power cord and pressing the power button as mentioned elsewhere on this forum but no dice.
    If anyone can offer any suggestions as to what the exact key combo should be for the L501x would be very grateful.
