    I can see your point. Other have sad that it should follow the horsearmor pattern. Which would make it a guess like “I wonder if I can use this animal part like the other animal parts which fill the same role.”

    That way you could formulate an educated guess and be happy when it turns out right.







  • I had the same problem on my laptop not being able to get into the bios. Turns out the reason is that the f-keys (f-1 to f-12) where not registered as such on boot.

    They are also the keys for volume and brightness etc. So when I pressed f-11 on boot it registered it as “Brightness up” and not “f-11”.

    The solution was to press “fn” + “f-11”. Then it registered as the correct key.

    You have the option to toggle the default on that. So that you press f-11 and it registers it as such and “brightness up” is “fn” + "f-11).

    For me that toggle was “fn” + “esc”. There also was a lock symbol on ESC so if ESC doesn’t work search for the key which has a lock on it.

    That toggle was also an option in the bios.

    So yeah, wasted an embarrassing amount of time figuring that out.
