I picked up this Dell Insprion 5100 off C-List,guy said that it was giving beep codes and it did,it beeped for like 1 mintue straight but I could access the bios once it stopped beeping.I then re-seated the processor,video card and everything else,replaced the hard drive which was dead.Now I've got no beeps,just a normal post beep,but now I cant access the bios to set the boot priority,splash screen appears and says to press F2,it does nothing.
I've tried re-seating the keyboard connector numerous times,makes no difference and if i press a bunch of keys on it,it will beep so I know its responding.
I'm really stumped at this point.I'm not sure if it will recognize an external USB keyboard,it doesn't have ps2 ports.
Any Ideas?
