Cannot enter Bios

#1 Post by ryan1212 » Sat Jul 26, 2008 2:15 pm

I just installed a new motherboard from IBM. I put it in and everything worked so through the lenovo system updater I ran the bios update.

Since then I cannot get into the bios. The system works just fine still. When I press the access IBM button it just goes into the lenovo recovery program instead of bringing the menu it normally does.

Any Ideas? I don't think the update failed since the system still boots and runs just fine, but I cannot enter bios to change settings.

What happens if you press F1 at the boot screen?

F1 brings me into the bios! Thank you.

I am still kind of curious though, the access IBM button used to be able to bring me into the bios, is it because I have a newer revision of the motherboard or because of the bios update?
