    To make a long story short a setting in my BIOS got changed. I think it was a display setting (a family member changed it from what ever it was on to both, not sure exactly what that means, but it's the only info I have), regardless, after the change was saved and the computer rebooted, the display (LCD) no longer works. I can not get an external monitor to function either.

    What I need help with is after I hit F10 to get into the BIOS, what are the exact key strokes needed to reset everything back to the factory defualt setting, save and exit? I think if I do this I can get my display back, but I'll be flying blind through the reset which is why I need the exact key strokes.


    Also, if anyone could take a digital pictures of the different menu screes in the BIOS that would help a lot. Maybe I can figure out what go changed and determine the keystrokes to change it back if the reset to default does not work.

    My exact model is the R4125US if it makes a difference, but I think al the R4000 and ZV6000 units use the same board, so the BIOS should be the same.
    Thanks,
    Ryan
