About Lauren Bennett Expertise I am a computer science major and my dad is an Electric Engineering, so my life has revolved around computers. For as long as I can remember, I have been buying and selling computers. I tend to travel a lot, so I have always had a laptop. I have bought 5 of them for myself, and bought around 30-40 for friends and family. I have dealt with the good and the bad of various version and brand names. If you are in need of buying a laptop, feel free to contact me and I'm sure I will be able to guide you into purchasing the laptop that will be the best fit for you. I will custom build you computers for you to choose from so you can get an exact idea of what to go and buy when you do it yourself and so that you have an exact price. However, I am in the USA and am only knowledgeable about computers here in the US. I do not know about foreign currency or the quality of computer brand names outside the US.

Question how can I open the BIOS setup as the F1 do not respond when pressing on the startup
Answer Each motherboard has a different method of getting into the BIOS. On my Dell laptop, it is F2. On my custom built computer, it is the delete key. I have heard of quite a few other combinations for getting into the BIOS such as the Esc key. However, it usually says in the top right corner as the system is booting up.
For the newer Toshiba models:
1. Turn on computer by holding down power button while pressing the ESC key.
The machine will beep, then display:
Check System, then press [F1] key.
2. Release ESC key
3. Press F1 key
Try those out. If you still cannot get into the BIOS, it may be a technical issue with your system that would need to be investigated by Toshiba's technical support department.
