Can't access BIOS after Windows 10 upgrade.

Trying the "F2" button, which always worked before but it hangs at the "ACER" screen. Thanks. Ed Acer Aspire M5-583P
Windows 10 64-bit
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4210U CPU @ 1.70GHz 2.40 GHz
6 GB DDR3 L Memory
500 GB HDD

Yes, everything is working fine. Actually, using F2 seems fine now and I've been in the bios/uefi a couple of times since. I'm a backup/restore freak that wants everything redundant and all bases covered in case booting into windows becomes impossible. Is there a simple way, that I've missed, to get into Windows RE when the computer will not boot? Just curious. Thanks, Ed

  • Can not access BIOS after update BIOS

    Can not access BIOS after update X220 BIOS to version 1.19
    Type: 4290-R32
    BIOS: 1.19

    Ask google and try anyway but not work
    - Press ThinkVantage, Press F1, Press Fn+F1
    - Power off, unplug AC, unplug battery, wait 15 miniute, try all again
    - Try to update BIOS again

    That is really weird.
    When you are in Windows, can you test and see if the F1 key is working? If it is working. Shut down the laptop then boot it back up. At the Thinkpad screen, keep spamming the F1 key and see if you are able to boot into BIOS.

  • IPad apps can't access photos after iOS8 upgrade

    I've got a number of apps on my iPad that used to be able to access the photos in my iPad Photos app but no longer can access them.  I checked under Privacy > Photos that they are enabled and I went to General > Restrictions and made sure all restrictions are off.  I changed nothing after the upgrade and all the apps could access photos before the upgrade.

    Hold down ⌥ and ⌘ whilst launching photos and try repairing the library.

  • E90 can't access contacts after FW upgrade

    Hi, I am unable to access the contacts on the contacts bottons on the right corner & in communicator mode since update to latest FW, on a couple of occasions it appears, but now it doesn't, I like to know does anyone experience this & other weird behaviors?
    In my opinion it's more detriment to the handset with update FW, I guess I learnt this the hard way, appreciate it.

    I was able to access contacts only by restoring from memory card, what was the cause initially is still unknown.
    I blame all the recent faults on the updated FW, no improvements was noticed from the previous FW.

  • Can't access old ver. 9, 11 & 13 clips after Windows upgrade

    In Sept. 2014 I downloaded PE 13 from B&H, worked fine and was able to access old PE9 & PE11 clips.  In Dec. 2014 had problems with Wind. 7 Home Ed. and had to upgrade to 8.1 (decided on Pro).  Installed 8.1 Pro end of Dec. 2014 and bought PE 13 DVD from B&H to reinstall after I backed up my hard drive.  Problem after install of 8/1 Pro and installing PE13 from DVD I can't access and restore old clips from 9, 11 & 13.  Tried everything I can think of....any suggestions PLEASE!

    Very good, I completely understand.  Please understand "I am not a computer geek!"
    With the old computer system, you have Premiere Elements 9, 11, and 13 projects. And, you import media into each and see thumbnails for each of your imports in the project media area of the program (in version 11 and 13, called Project Assets).  CORRECT!  Please as we go forward I have the PE 13 that was downloaded from B&H and worked perfectly with my previous assets in PE 9 & 11.
    When you go to open a project in one of these programs and go to the project media area, do the source media thumbnails still show as before with image in the thumbnail? Or does the thumbnail have a display of circular arrows? If the present as before, can you drag the file from the project media area to the Timeline? If you cannot, it that the problem? NO!  (First info is when I set up my new PE 13 after copying all data to a 1T desk drive and loaded Windows 8.1 Pro to replace my Windows 7 Home Edition, I set up the PE 13 and used 64 bit as suggested.)  NOW...When I locate my previous Project Assets on the 1T drive they show as "red blocks" with a play arrow in them where previously were thumbnails, but I can't retrieve them.  As such there is nothing to add to the timeline.  Last night I added to the NEW PE 13 a 22 min program I'm working on.  I have all those assets, thumbnails and everything is working as wonderfully as it did in 9, 11 and downloaded 13.
    Now in response to a previous question you asked:
    1. When you open Premiere Elements 13 Expert workspace, go to Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime, do you see a list of presets when you explore
    the Presets" field there?  NO.... I can get to /Computer but there is no QuickTime there!  I did download QuickTime yesterday after your suggestion.
    2. You wrote
    Restarted PE13 and received the message "The selected file cannot be played becuse your system does not have the required compresser/decompresser (codec) installed.
    Where are you getting the selected file---- from Premiere Elements 13 Expert workspace Project Assets to where it was imported originally from a hard drive save location?
    Or other? What is the specific full name of one of these files that is giving the error message?
    With everything I've been trying, I'll have to recreate this series of events to answer directly.
    When you did the switch from Windows 7 Home to Windows 8.1, did you go 64 bit to 64 bit or 32 bit to 64 bit in operating system?  Help me with a way to determine what the bit was on 9 & 11!
    Were two separate computers involved or did you manage to change the operating all on one computer?  All on one Computer
    The major focus for me right now is to make sure I know what file triggers the ".....not have the required compressoer/decompressor (codec)"? And to know that
    you are in the Premiere Elements 13 Editor and not the Organizer 13 workspace.  Help me understand!!!!  I know the difference between "Add Media", "Project Assets", "Organizer", "Editor" and "Workspace".  But "Project Assets" and "Workspace" are part of "Editor", so I don't understand your question.

  • Thinkpad edge s230u twist can't access bios by F1,bios recovery

    When I tried to update win8.1 updates KB3000850, it failed via auto-update or installation. Follow the Microsoft guide to restart laptop into safe mode, installation failed also. Then I chose safe mode with minimum way to restart laptop. Then laptop halted down at Lenovo logo.
    At first, I thought bios is modified by windows8.1(x64) and it can't load any hard disk to boot. With a couple of days test, I found a way to flash BIOS at very beginning of laptop boot. BIOS can be updated. But there is still no startup option to set boot sequence. My laptop is still halted down at Lenovo logo, same as BIOS update. I can only access bios by keeping real clock error which I generated by clearing BIOS.
    if no real clock error, i can't access bios. And f1 and f12 doesn't work. At the lonovo logo screen, Enter doesn't work also although it hints me to press Enter.
    In my laptop bios, there is no startup option even I udate it.
    can somebody help me on this? Lenovo service center just aksed me to change board.
    Here I share the bios crisis recovery solution for s230u, may also for other models.
    Laptop: ThinkPad edge s230u twist 3347-3QC
    Bios: 1.67, UEFI.
    OS:windows 8.1 x64
    How to do BIOS crisi recovery:
    1. Download bios(exe version) from Lenovo website
    2. Run it, and release file. Uncheck the installation at last. Remember the release location. You can get the bios in .fl1 format, mine is in ..\gduj21us\GDETA9WW\
    3. Rename it as BIOS.cap and copy it into a new formatted USB stick with FAT32 in root directory.
    4. Shutdown Laptop and disconnect AC cord. Insert USB stick.
    5. Hold Fn+R, plugging in AC power. And power-on.
    6. USB stick is blinking, then you can release key. A short while, after a lenovo logo, flashing screen shows.
    7. After flash, laptop will restart or shutdown.
    In BIOS, it shows new version. If new bios is new one, flashing takes a longer time than a very short time for same version flashing.

    I tried 1.02, it will try to read USB stick, then shutdown, restart, read again, laptop would be in this cycle. It's same when i changed one Bit by hex-editor of 1.69 version. I also try to use PhoenixTool 2.59 to rebuild BIOS after change one or two Bits of extracted roms. same status also, it took the changed bios as wrong input, enter the above cycle also.
    I tried 1.53, it can show lenovo logo, and flashing screen, but it hints that BIOS should be qual or newer.
    I still wait for some on guide. Thanks in advance.

  • Can I access BIOS using JNI?

    Hi,
    Can I access BIOS using JNI on Windows and Linux platforms?
    Mathew

    I guess that the old BIOS functions (INT 15 for instance) are "emulated" by Windows when you are running old 16-bit DOS programs. They're mapped into equivalent Windows calls. Even if the BIOS implement different features you can't run the exact BIOS code. (Please correct me if I'm wrong)
    I don't know about Linux handling of BIOS calls.
    If you simply want to read (not execute) the BIOS code in Linux you can use a special device (/dev/kmem? I can't remember the exact name) and seek to the BIOS address.

  • Why can't I print after I upgrade to MAC OS 10.10 (Yosemite)?

    Why can't I print after I upgrade to MAC OS 10.10 (Yosemite)?

    You need a printer driver upgrade. Check with your printer's manufacturer to see if they have a new driver available. If not, then ask their tech support for additional help.
    Meanwhile, open Print & Scan preferences, select the installed driver and click on the Delete [-] button. Then CTRL- or RIGHT-click in the list space and select Reset Print System from the context menu. Now, click on the Add [+] button to re-Add your printer. See it this helps. Be sure your printer is connected and turned on.

  • I can't access iPhoto following my upgrade to yosemite

    i can't access iPhoto following my upgrade to yosemite

    The first thing to do:  Make a backup of your iPhoto Library. Don't update iPhoto without having a backup of your iPhoto library.
    When I tried I received the following message This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled."
    This error message means, that you did not yet associate your copy of iPhoto (preinstalled on your Mac) with your AppleID by clicking the "accept" button at AppStore "Purchased" page.
    First try to "Accept" iPhoto on the Purchased tab and try, if you then can update iphoto from the Updates tab.
    Now check the "Purchased" tab. Is iPhoto among your Purchases to "Accept" or "Install"? Then accept and/or install.
    If it is not possible, delete iPhoto from the Applications folder .
    (don't empty the Trash).
    If it is not among your Purchases, open the AppStore main tab, search for iPhoto using the Search field, and buy it from the AppStore. If you already owned any version of iPhoto '11, this purchase should be free, from earlier versions it may be a paid upgrade.
    If all fails there is no help but contacting the App Store Support to sort out the AppleID. Use this link: http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact/

  • HP pavillion m6 notebook, Can't access Bios on external screen.

    Hello my laptop screen has been completely ruined due to my kid brother (4years old) but thats not the problem.
    The problem is that i'm now using my TV as a external screen via a HDMI cable, my problem is i can't access Bios on it.
    Is there a solution to this problem ? 
    I've read someting about a key combination could solve the problem, but i can't find that combination, and i dont know when i should use it. 
    Thanks 

    Hi Patrickkje, and welcome to the HP Support Forums! 
    I understand that you are looking for a key combination to get the external monitor to turn on while in the BIOS. I did some research and found a couple things. First is this document for Testing a Hard Disk from the BIOS where you need to press the F10 repeatedly to get to the BIOS menu.
    I found another combination that follows pressing FN & F1 at powerup switches to the external monitor.
    I hope this information helps, please let me know how it goes.
    Good luck and have a great day!
    I worked on behalf of HP.
