ALT-P Does Not Work

Question

When I am in the BIOS setup of my Latitude C600, using ALT-P does not change pages.  This occurred after setting the boot to device to CD only (not a good idea).  I used ALT-F to reset the BIOS to allow hard drive boot, but still no ALT-P functionality

use an external keyboard, plug it into your ps2 port....any brand will do

Thanks - I had tried that without sucess.  I just tried using ALT-P again today and it worked.  Not sure what the fix was.

Hmm,

I've had issues in the past where either a CTRL or ALT key stuck, usually on the LHS of the keyboard....that was probably it. Next time, if there is one, try working all the power keys...ie Shift/Ctrl/Alt on both sides.
