This will teach me...maybe.
After having successfully installing Bionic Beaver on the new hard drive on my ASUS laptop/notebook, I tried to see if it could still boot Puppy Linux 6.3.0 Slacko via USB. It couldn't, so I tinkered around a bit with the BIOS.
I did something, something about "optimal" or "best" setting, and now the thing only has a black screen- it will not light up at all. Pressing F2 or any other F# key does nothing. There is the "click" so the ASUS is trying to do something, putting the DVD-R in the drive causes it to spin, USB sticks do light up, but there is that black screen.
As the hard drive has Bionic Beaver on it now, it seemed logical to ask here since what I find on the Internet usually deals with Windows.
I still have the original broken hard drive that never booted up. I can do nothing with it, same results, and this includes not using any hard drive.
It is a 2012 ASUS laptop, 8GB, new hard drive with Bionic Beaver, XX5A (tiny-tiny letters).
How do I undo this mess?
