ive been working on a friends pc its a Time amd athlon 1.8 ghz with a pheonix bios, had problems today with monitor not detecting a signal so I threw in a pci vga card, tried to disable the onboard graphics through the bios, was confusing compared to other bios's, any how ive manged to lose the display completly now, and need to know the function kjeys to set the bios back to default bearing in mind of got no display at all so anyone with this bios or time machine might be able to help, I am sure its delete key to enter bios, but cant remeber the rest. Just when I thought things could not get worse the time machine has the number 20018MQ93G4 on the back im sure this is the model no, if anyones got any other ideas of how to go about it, it would be great otherwise I might have to buy a new motherboard at this rate. Cant contact them and get it done under waranty as some things have been changed it's only about 7 months old though.

There should be a jumper on the board. If you have the manual it will tell you where it is. What is the mobo manufactorer and model #??

Great minds think alike, lol, already downloaded it and found the jumper problem sorted now m8, your a star, now I realise why the guy at college said not to work on a pc without a mainboard manual, it's just ashame that these pc world and alike places seem to think customers dont need them. Mmmmm, probabally hoping to generate more cash on repairs when thye warranty runs out.
Thnx again for your help m8 :D
