bios roblems

hello msi community, I need help.
ok so long story short my latop met with an unfortunate accident and no longer has a display and on top of that needs to be formatted.

so in conclusion I need a walkthrough keystroke by keystroke so I can format my hard drives and start fresh I have a boot disk but I cant see anything please help

 

Do you have access to an external display, even a TV will work fine if you can connect to it. That would be the simplest way.

 

the computer is stuck in bios because of an error I made so I need to format with out seeing I have a tv and it was hooked up to it bit but that is no longer an option so anyone please just help me out with the format process

 

Can you describe more details on what you had done so we have an idea on what had happened to your NB? Thanks.

 

I went into the bios and split the raid drive saved the changes and then went back into the bios and put the two drives back together, but I didnt format them. the whole time I was doing this I was using an external display. but after I put the two drives together it no longer will show up on my display.

 

Something else has to be wrong then. The drives have nothing to do with the display. You don't even need the drives at all for the display to work and get into the BIOS.

Have you tried letting it sit for a few minutes? Maybe it's doing some sort of scan/repair? Either way you should be able to get into your BIOS no matter what you did with the drives.

Could you have bumped/disconnected the display cable when you had the laptop apart?

 

the monitor was ripped off I didnt take it apart but I was using my tv after that happened. I was in the bios and split the drives and saved it, after I did that I went back in and put them back together saved the settings and now my laptop wont show up on the external display. and also after I split the drives when I started my laptop it would automaticaly go back to bios so when I put them together again no more external display.

I greatly appreciate all the help and advice being offered.

 

I think it would be very difficult for someone to write a literal step by step procedure to get the BIOS setup, drives formatted and a full OS reinstall. There are too many options, variables and things that could go wrong. I would help if I could, I just know that would take me days and days to try to write up, with no guarantee that it would work on your system.

I really think the best option is to send it in for the screen to be repaired, or even a local shop if possible. If it's damaged as badly as it sounds it may have other problems and it may all be for nothing anyway. Sorry I can't be of more help. Maybe someone else has more ideas.

 

If it's the Intel RAID Option ROM / BIOS driver that is hanging it can be bypassed by pressing the right shift key before post, or was it the left shift key?

Try spamming that key (which ever one it is) and see if it helps.

Forgot to mention that you can remove all drives to get the BIOS to go into setup.

A cmos reset will put everything to default.

You could run a linux live CD

If in UEFI you could run an automated shell.
