A family member (who shall go unnamed) broke the enter key on my Dell Inspiron 6000. It is the ONLY enter key on the little laptop's keyboard. I temporarily attached a USB keyboard and it works well, but I want to make some bootup changes and it doesn't recognize the USB keyboard this early in the bootup process. My question: Is there a combination of keys I can press to duplicate the enter key function?

Hi. Don't know if you ever got this issue resolved, but here's my contribution anyway. I had exactly the same problem troubling me for months. Try typing Ctrl-M which sends the same internal code as actually pressing the Enter key. Good luck and...

Cheers!!!
