Tried that also and that definitely doesn't work. Worked my way through the "F" keys - no joy. Boots straight into windows 8 or 8.1. Have pulled the battery to make certain that everything is really dead when I shut down. No joy. Really fast boot. I have trolled the web and can see that plenty of people have the same problem with this model lappy. I have to decide do I want to chafe as being a windows user? Is not being able to get into the BIOS enough of a reason to return the machine to the store and if not then the above? Not good.
