No access to BIOS after installing Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon on an Acer Aspire E 15

Post by Nitya Deva »

Hi,

I have installed Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon on my Laptop (Acer Aspire E 15). Now I am not able to enter BIOS anymore by pressing F2 when starting!
Only GRUB will show up.
Maybe it could also be an Acer-produced problem. But maybe not.
I have no idea.
Thank you very much!

Try ESC and F12, or maybe F11

my Aspire is doing something like that also, but I think ESC let me in.
