Hi, my PC (Acer Aspire T690) does not see my keyboard or mouse during Power On Self Test. Once Windows (Vista) is up, everything is fine.
The keyboard is connected to the USB port, but I tried another keyboard using the PS2 port, same result. I should be allowed to hit "Del" key to enter BIOS setup, but the only reaction I get from the PC is a small noise sounding like weak "tics". ANy idea someone ?

Have you updated the "bios", usually this cures it. Please post back if you have anymore problems or questions.

"Delete" is the correct key to enter *most* BIOSes, but not all. I've worked with at least one that requires F1 instead, and I'm fairly certain one or two use different function keys. Have you checked the manual or the mfgr's webpage to verify that "Delete" is designed to enter BIOS?
