On my PC, I can just hold the DEL key during start up and it will launch BIOS. Try that.

If you're using a SSD it can be very fast.

As soon as the computer has power during a reboot keep hitting your f12 key repetedly. If you get the timing correct you should still be able to reach BIOS before your operating system boots. You might need to try this a couple times before hitting it just right.

i know and i did it multiple times, but about 2 months ago, i went into BIOS settings and turned it off. Can i make a video of the boot up? i will show you.

If you've turned off the BIOS function completely then the easiest thing to do would be to reset your CMOS completely.

Open up your computer and look for the round silver battery on the motherboard. Gently take the battery out and wait for about 10 minutes before putting it back in. This will reset all your BIOS/ CMOS settings back to default and you should once again see the prompt page at boot.

This will reset all the settings that you changed in your BIOS back to default. CMOS is basically where all the BIOS configuration is kept.

Nothing will be changed on your operating system or hard drive.

If you had access to it you would unseat that small cable running from the battery to the board. Unless there is a really good reason you need to get into your BIOS I might consider not trying this.

**Removing the CMOS cable will most likely mean taking apart a large part of the laptop and handling very delicate pieces of hardware. If you are not comforatble with small form factor electronics repair you might consider taking your laptop to a local PC repair shop to get them to do this for you**

**If you break the connector from your battery to the motherboard your laptop will become unusable and would need to be repaired by a professional**
