[FADCA] BIOS SET UP KEY - Dell OptiPlex GL 5133

[David Calder]

	Bud,

	You have several chances. I didn't see anything on it at dell.
But
	when I had my computer store you could have anything. Do as Bill
	said, remove something. Even the jumper to the bios battery to
the
	battery itself.


	F1
	F2
	F12
	control alt escape
	control alt S
	

	Just something to try

If all else fails bud you could try and either disconnect say the floppy
or 
hard drive and then boot it up and you should get the device failed hit 
whatever to continue and that might let you know what it is OR
disconnect 
the battery for a few minutes and then boot it up as that would dump the

bios and you would have to get to the bios to set it up. Both should
come 
up on the screen.

Did you try F1?

You also might find some info on dells web site for that model if you 
search around.
