My fiance before i met her bought a yuk Tiny computer and i have tried everything i can think to get into the bios from removing the keyboard on startup to spamming the F keys and holding down 1 key to simulate keyboard failure to get it up ....
Any ideas or anyone who knows?

(Tiny UK btw)
 
Pressing the delete button normally does it?? but I guess you must have tried that.
You could clear the Cmos (unplug the power to the tower)
look to see where on the motherboard the lithium battery is, their usually is a JP1 jumper close by with 3 prongs, just swop it over opersite two prongs (still using the centre one) just for a few seconds then swop it back.
Alternately remove the battery for a short while.
When you reboot it should say Cmos error/run setup? or something like that and tell you which key to press to enter bios.
If in dought set the bios to best performing/optimized defaults (this should be one option, press Y to load them)then exit and save to cmos by pressing Y.
Martin Just trying to help, sometimes falling short, I am only human after all.
