Power off the device, remove the battery and keep the power button pressed for around 20 seconds; it should let you enter the bios after that

I took the battery out and used a stop watch to count to 20seconds put the battery back in and still no luck

you might need to reset the bios by removing the bios battery

Come to find out its the key board that wont allow me to access the bios because i plugged a usb key board into and accessed it with no problems so i booted up windows updated drivers and only some of the keys work so i reseated the keyboard and tried again still the same thing

Well i was able to fix the keyboard and its working well now. I cleaned up the cpu and reapplied thermal paste so hopefully the temps stay lower than they were.

(I was shoving the keyboard cable to far into the socket (i think its called socket) so it wasnt hitting all the pins on the ribbon cable)
