How do I access the bios at startup, On A Insignia D400A? I see no prompt or keys, to activate Bios.

Generally Function key can be enabled from BIOS settings. BIOS settings can be accessed by pressing DEL, F10 or F2 key at system startup (depending on the laptop u have), which is prompted at screen at startup.
Give it a try

Hi,
For access the BIOS you need press the key F2 or F3 while startup.
Please try both the key one will work.

Thanks for using FixYa.

With the older toshiba, you can access the bios when starting up by oressing esc key.. Now they have to make everything cheap and difficult (making money). However the newer version such as your satellite, you can't, access the bios via startup anymore. It's only going to prompt you of boot up order, or loading default value y/n for your bios. These Toshiba laptops are "legacy-free" and only have access to the bios through a Windows-based utility called Toshiba HWsetup. It comes installed with toshiba laptops (and, I think ,through their recovery cds etc). Check out your recovery disk to see if it has that application. I hope this help.

Factory restore requires the OEM restore DVD disk.

First boot the PC and press F2 during boot to enter BIOS. Change BIOS settings to factory default, to make sure the boot device sequence and all other settings are as they should be.
Then insert the Restore DVD into the DVD-rom drive and save & exit BIOS settings. It should then reboot and load from the restore disk.

when booting up and when insignia screen appears press f1 and that should get you there,
but be warned insignia may void your guarantee if you play around with the settings or add any mods.
good luck

Go into the BIOS (press F2 during boot) , change the boot order - put the cd first and save the change, put the restore disk in the dvd, reboot, wait for the disk to launch and follow the instructions on the screen.

Usually you can acces BIOS by pressing
"DEL" Key duing system startup.

But it also depend on the BIOS manufacturer and version on how to access BIOS

When i got black screen on my Windows 7 laptop when started pc, Windows Boot Genius helped me fix problem without data loss easily!

Each BIOS has a differrent access key. Try pressing any one of these keys while your computer is starting up: DEL; F1; F12; ESC. its trial and error since i dont know which BIOS you are using, and do it quickly, dont press all at once, one at each start-up. if that doesnt work then look for the prompt to access bios and quickly press the key while windows is starting up. you need to be really quick to do this, once in bios play arround untill you find the bluetooth settings which should be under Advanced Settings. Enable your bluetooth. WARNING: DO NOT MAKE AND SAVE ANY CHANGES OTHER THAN THE ENABLE BLUETOOTH SETTINGS!!. Save the settings and procceed to start-up.
