Hello friends! I have a laptop (lenovo idea pad S400) with a broken screen. In order to have video I use and HDMI (only output here) - VGA adapter. However it is impossible to get video during booting time, so I cannot access the BIOS. I only get image when the OS is up . I have been searching a lot on the web, some people advice to unplugged the video Flex cord from the motherboard , or from the screen, etc. I have tried every combination possible there. No success.
I also learned, that is it possible to get BIOS information in Windows from a console. I did that, but there isn't much to see or to do.
I was wondering if it is possible to access to that information from MX Linux and also to make some configurations.
If we think logicaly I don't think BIOS can be fully accessed from the OS , because they are Two different things... I know this... but I cannot think of anything else to overcome this issue.
For those who are thinking about "spare parts" , that cannot happen in my country. Lenovo moved away, they don't provide supplies, not even buying from Brazil. *PS Bios in this machine can be access by pressing an small side button , then a 3 or 4 option display should be shown, in order to select Bios option.
