    So uh...

    I have a m570ru here with a failed video card.
    The failed card is was a 8700m GT...
    So basically the BIOS version it has right now is probably one of the earliest and it doesn't support any cards I have. So I have to update the BIOS/EC blindly.

    All this would be fine. Except for the fact that USB drive seems to be excluded from the boot order.
    Can someone with a m570ru give me an idea of how I could set USB boot to priority in the BIOS, totally blindly?

    Thanks.
