Having a problem with my old Amitech Freenote 4705 when i boot it the damn thing always stop at the bios screen with the text: "System BIOS i shadowed Press F2 to enter system configuration utility", when i press F2 nothing happens. Thought i might be a keyboard problem so i plugged in an external keyboard and pressed F2 but still nothing. Can't figure out whats wrong, BIOS maybe?, thought of flashing BIOS but the laptop doesn't have a flopy drive. Tried to reinstall it as a last resort but it wont start windows cd since i stops at BIOS load.
Anyone have a solution to this problem it's driving me nuts. :?
