Rewriting the BIOS

4. Connect an external FDD and insert the BIOS rewriting disk into the external FDD.
5. Turn on the power while holding down the tilde character key at the left of the Space
key until beeps sound.
For example

(UK Keyboard)
(Keep holding down the key.)
6. The BIOS rewriting starts.
7. When the process is completed, it beeps and the system automatically reboots.
NOTE: 1. Connect the AC adapter to the computer when you rewrite the BIOS.
2. Do not turn off the power while you are rewriting the BIOS.
If the rewrite fails, it might be impossible to start up the computer.

case, insert the BIOS rewriting disk and the BIOS will be rewritten.
