Go to SolutionF12 Not Working - Even after common fixes
Hi, I hope someone can help with this. I want to run the Dell diagnostics on my Inspiron. F12 was not working to take me to the menu. I Googled it and found advice on adjusting my Function Key Lock Options. I restarted the computer, started tapping on F2, and entered BIOS. I found the Fn Lock Options and disabled Function Lock. I then tried to access F12 again with no luck. I also fully played around with the Fn Lock. I checked the box 'Lock Mode: Disable/Standard' With both the Fn Lock on and off. No luck. I checked the box for 'Lock Mode: enable/Secondary' with the Fn Lock on and off. No luck with all 4 combinations. I then noticed that when the computer was starting up and the Dell logo would display momentarily, I didnt actually see the prompts for Setup and Boot Menu. Perhaps it was being missed. So I again entered BIOS and and extended BIOS Post time to 5 seconds. Now, when the computer starts up and the Dell logo appears, I am able to see the option for F12. I have tried tapping on it repeatedly, holding it down, and using the Fn key with F12, all with no luck. The F12 option will not engage. Any advice ??
