    I have a Gateway T1616 laptop, and I downloaded the latest bios and flashed the laptop. After rebooting the screen is blank and the cdrom makes noise but that's it.

    I have read a lot over the last two days on crisis recover/boot block mode for Phoenix bios.

    What I have not figured out what the key combination is for this model,
    I have created a bootable USB stick with the Wincris.exe tool and a bootable floppy (for USB floppy drive) and I have had no luck recovering the bios.

    I have tried FN+(R,B,F,C,ESC) and the same combinations with the windows key.

    Any thoughts?
