Quick question regarding BIOS

[handan2002]

Hi guys,

I just bought an old IBM PC300GL so I could play around with it. However, I'm having trouble getting into the BIOS to change the settings. I've tried all the F keys, the delete key, and the esc key, but nothing works. There's no OS installed so it doesn't exactly help if I can't get into the BIOS to allow for a CD-ROM boot. So, please help! Any suggestions are welcomed!

Thanks!

Make sure the cmos battery isn't dead. If it is dead or weak it won't keep the changes after reboot.

Oh the CMOS battrey seems to be just fine. How would i go abouts getting into the BIOS though?

Thank you!

OH, You don't know the key combo to get into bios.
Most bios use delete. There are a few, older Phoenix bios, that use alt key. My laptop it's alt/insert.

I've tried all those combinations as well now, still no go

I've finally worked it out- it was the F1 key.

Thank you for your help anyway!
