Hi there

I have a problem with my Bios. Now it's on A06.

Nearly all options and functions are disabled. I can see them, but I cannot choose or change them. They are all in a light gray color. I re-flashed the bios, but it did not help. Neither the "load default"-option is available.

What shell I do?

Greetings

Just going from what I read in various Google searches...try: In the main menu of the bios press Ctrl-F1

Option 3 would be to reflash your BIOS I guess. Exactly what model is it? There's probably a newer BIOS available.

I have seen this issue reported before - something corrupted the BIOS. The suggestion I have seen is to remove the coin cell battery, try to start the system, shut it down and reinsert the battery.

Yes, that would reset the BIOS to factory default and then you would have to update of course.

There are intructions here for the Dell Mini 1010 - should be similar for all the minis.

Removing the coin cell battery worked (was a little tricky, the battery cable is hardly removable), thanks

No update necessary

Thank holmes4 for the idea.
