    I have a recent S13 that came with Windows 8 and I haven't been able to access the BIOS. Is there a trick to it? I've tried rapidly hitting F2 on startup as well as ESC, F1, F3, and F12, none have any effect. At no point is there a prompt or any POST output either, it goes directly from the VIAO startup screen to Windows.

    Turn your computer off and press the assist button.
