Missing PW410 P.O.S.T. message
I recently lost the CMOS battery on a Dell PW410 (simply run down, after many years). I replaced the CR2032, got the entire machine working again, but now the "Press ..." message is no longer displayed during POST. The Dell logo is displayed, arbitrarily pressing F2 -will- get me into CMOS set-up, and everything else seems to be working normally. Tried re-flashing Phoenix BIOS A14, to no effect. What else could block display of that message?

Hi Quidprospero,
This is probably a BIOS setting lost when your battery went dead. Look around and you should be able to find it.
