DELL HELP PLEASE!!! my Windows just got bricked and your F2, F12 keys don't work!!! zero access to boot menu :-(

Either this is the ol' Chaplin "Windows Scam",

in which case, me so stooopid & congratz to you...  got me good :emotion-53:

or there's an actual way to fix the F2, F12 keys usable so that I can boot from USB or DVD.

If really no solution, this laptop is gone gone gone and done like a Pekin Duck and it's going to be the most expensive brick I ever paid for. Blimey, just a few months out of warranty

Next laptop I buy, I swear I'll test the boot keys in the store before I even consider buying ..

If anyone found a fix to the F2 & F12 keys, please post it. It would be so very helpful
