Question Can't press F2 to set time and date on my Toshiba laptop after cmos reset

[GROWZA]

Hello
I have a Toshiba laptop i did reset the CMOS battery when i reboot it said that i have to press F2 to set time and date
the problem is that i've poured mistakenly coffee on my keyboard and buttons like F2 F1 F10 ESC are not working anymore i tried external usb keyboard and it is not working as well even it light up
Is there any way to bypass this problem

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

Toshiba have a number of laptops in their product portfolio, which one do you have? An SKU would help us two fold. You should look into a replacement keyboard instead of other methods, IMHO.

Are you using Windows? You can restart Windows so that it boots directly into UEFI/BIOS. No need to press any keys.
This option may not exist for all computers, or the exact way to reastart into UEFI/BIOS is a little bit different.

You may need to take it for repairs.

You can tell Windows to sync the time and date from the setting.

BTW if the message continues to show up after the battery and power cord is removed, the CMOS battery is likely to be dead and needs to be replaced.

That's weird, on most systems you should be able to continue to Windows by pressing F1.

The keys are not working anymore because of water damage.

I see, not all laptops do that.
