Can't boot Laptop
I have a Samsung Notebook QX411L, when I boot it up it only goes to F2 for Setup and F4 for Recovery, does nothing when I press either and I can't even get into the BIOS. I tried to boot and press all the Esc, Del, F(all of them) with no luck. The hard drive was wiped out as well. I just need to boot from CD to rebuild it.
Any idea what else I can try??
Thanks in advance.

Did you try removing the hard drive?
ASKER
I'll try that and the other suggestions.

So I removed the hard drive and also added a USB keyboard and was able to get into the BIOS, I replaced the hard drive and was able to start to rebuild the laptop. The hard drive was causing the issue because the keyboard worked after removing the hard drive.
Thanks so much for the quick responses and I'm up and running!
