Compaq 6910p boot disc help

[seth.rocknroll]

I have a Compaq 6910p laptop with a broken screen and i want to install linux on it, only problem is it doesnt send a signal to the monitor in the bios screen. Can someone tell me the button inputs to boot from a usb drive?

If the USB is connected before the laptop is turned on, and then you turn it on, it should load to the USB drive.

If the USB is connected before the laptop is turned on, and then you turn it on, it should load to the USB drive.

Even if it has a hard drive with win 7?

It shouldn't matter if it is 7, 8 or 10.

I tried it and it booted into windows instead of the USB

Then you may have to change the order in BIOS to make the USB the first option.
