Anyone know how to change the settings in BIOS for a Tecra A2 laptop?
The first step is to get into BIOS which I don't know how. Do you?

Thanks

Do a google search for your laptop and see which motherboard it uses. From that information you should be able to figure out which bios it uses and what button you have to press to get in.

I would try F1, F11, F12, DEL

These links tells what the motherboard type my laptop is but how can you figure out which bios it uses and what button you have to press to get in?
