How can I reach the BIOS menu of N41?

navi2000

Hi everyone,
I would like to install a new operation system to Beelink Gemini N41 (Windows 10 Pro) but I couldn't reach the BIOS menu, when I switch on the device I am pushing the delete button on the keyboard (and I tried with F7 as well) but no picture on the display, it seems like the device in the bios menu ( I think) but the display is black. And always when I switch on the device I never see the BIOS menu logo, what normally you can see always when start a PC or a notebook. What is the problem? Anybody could guess?

Thanks,
Victor

It's not a specific question :) Maybe you misunderstood me :)
My question is:
Does "Beelink Gemini N41" have BIOS Setup Utility menu?

You can enter the BIOS settings after booting the Beelink LOG and pressing the Delete key on your keyboard.

Hi navi2000.

Yes, the "Beelink Gemini N41" has BIOS Setup menu.
When no Bee-Link Icon is show in the middle of the screen just after device start, I guess, you were shut out yourself from the BIOS through some unfavorable BIOS Settings before - just like me (and in my case even shut out from the OS) :L

Plug off all cords from the Bee-link N41 and press the green RTC reset button for About 7 seconds (yes, without any power).
This clears all faulty BIOS/CMOS settings (on next power on, I believe).
Then plugin at least a USB keyboard, the HDMI and power cord again. You should see the boot screen again.

Also, for me the Delete Button did not work on my N41. I had to press ESC several times (to hit the right moment) to get into BIOS menu.

Good luck.

initially I also have problems getting into the BIOS setup menu.  Solved the problem by using a USB connected keyboard and press the "delete" key as soon as the unit is power on.  Since the N41's SSD can boot up so fast, any delay in pressing the "delete" key will not get you to the BIOS page.
After I get used to pressing the "delete" key as fast as I can, I don't need to use the USB keyboard.

I am using a wireless keyboard and mouse, to enter the bios menu.
Shut down the PC (power off).
Press and hold Delete button on keyboard.
Press the Power On button for 1 second (keep holding delete key).
Bios screen comes up within 2-3 seconds.
