Vaio PCG-8W1L saved from trash , boot with an Ubuntu cd, but…

by benny7440 . Updated 16 years, 4 months ago

…apparently has no HD, the keyboard is disconnected but the touchpad & related buttons are ok. The speakers sometimes sound, too.
It appears that it’s capable of connecting via Wi-Fi although haven’t been able to prove it, yet.
What I need is a way to enter the BIOS setup page for making sure that certain things are enabled, then to proceed to insert an old vaio hd (if it’s compatible with this hardware). Have tried the Sony and the Phoenix sites without luck. I also tried all the keyboard combinations I know (I connected a keyboard through usb port) but haven’t found a way to enter the BIOS setup page.
I thank you in advanced for any help that might be provided pertaining to this issue!
