Hey guys,
Had my new asus eee pc netbook for about three weeks now, and it has run beautifully, i love the thing. But this morning, i pressed the power button, and it can't get past the screen that says "Press F2 to run Setup, press TAB to display BIOS POST Message" and i dont know what to do, pressing either or even any button other button on the keyboard does nothing at all.

Thanks!

If the keys aren't working and you are not booting something is very wrong hardware wise. You need to engage your warranty. Contact them.

Example of Oxymoron:
Person who is pro life and anti sex education.
Education is key to prevention. Prevent conception you prevent abortion. Abstinence training clearly isn't working.

what happens if you press on the power button untill the laptop shuts down?
Then turn it back on and immediately tap the f8 key to get into safe mode.
If it goes into safe mode, try a system restoration to before this problem and see if that works.

Some HELP in posting on Computing.net plus free progs and instructions Cheers
