You do not need any device to boot into the BIOS...Take the BIOS battery out. It's a CR2032 button cell. Remove it. Wait 10 minutes. Don't put the battery back in. Plug the system back in. Boot it up. If it works fine without the battery, replace it.
Sorry I said 3 min.

Never have I not been able to boot into the BIOS unless the BIOS it self is DAMAGED ... almost every system has a DEFAULT setting... you either REMOVE the battery to reset or there are jumpers to short to reset...this is with over 20 years of computer work...
You do not need a Floppy.
you do not need a CD ROM.
you do not need a HD.
you do not need sound (but it helps) the BEEPS tell you what.
you do not need a OS.
place a bootable CD/DVD in your DVD drive. RESET the BIOS, and boot to DVD...

How does your manual tell you to RESET the BIOS to DEFAULT..???
Can you post all the info on your laptop.
make, model, part #, SN# ASUS is not enough.. I need more than that, Ill send to my Friend in ASUS.USA and see how to RESET the BIOS to DEFAULT..
If none of the above work...
