Dear Experts, plz help me!!!
I have a problem with my computer BIOS. I need to change the BOOT sequence in BIOs. But when I enter to BIOS by pressing DEL, the BIOS screen appears but I can not change anything. Keyboard is locked completely. The BIOS is Phonix BIOS.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Thanks for your reply,
Unfortunately this is a special computer is used in a telecommunication system and it has only 4 USB port. I had to convert PS2 to USB and it didn't work :-(
Do you have any idea?
Thanks.
Br,
AlirezaAre you saying it doesn't have a PS2 port ? ?



If not try using the Tab button, spacebar and up and down arrows...Hi,
Yes. There is no PS2 port. there are just 4 USB PORTS. I use a ps2 keyboard connecting with a convertor to USB port. the strange thing is that DEL(to enter BIOS) and CTRL+ALT+DEL works sometimes. and some times no key works. anyway EVEN when these keys work, all the other keys don't work. I've checked all other keys. I'll use a USP keyboard to check if it works. Thanks alot for your attention.
any other advice is too welcome.
Br,
AlirezaA USB keyboard will mostly not work for this...they need drivers and drivers are not loaded until the OS loads. Setup is way before that...
Just so you know when you Tab it takes you to the next screen...when you use the spacebar it moves from item to item; up down arrows changes the value of the line that's highlighted and Enter accepts the value change.

F10 saves changes you've made and re-boots the machine with the new values you've entered...
You may want to check for a line in Advanced Setup that says "enable legacy USB support" and your keyboard may work after that change is made.

Good Luck.Thanks alot,
BrThat is the ultimate danger of "all USB" machines. You may need to reset your BIOS to factory defaults.

You may have motherboard jumpers to do this.

You may end up removing the CMOS battery from the
motherboard and then PUTTING it back in the motherboard
to reset the BIOS settings to the factory defaults.

This may give back your support for the keyboard.
