so I just got this cool new laptop for free and one of the first things I tried was a bios upgrade and of course it failed. So instead of trying to restore the old bios before I rebooted I went right ahead and rebooted without reflashing (aren't I a genius). So now my new free laptop does not get past POST. It sits there with the three LEDS on and does nothing.

I'm hoping there's someone out there that has had a similar problem and figured out how to tell the puter to boot off the floppy drive via a key press or something. Here's what I've tried so far...
clearing the CMOS by pulling out battery
removing the CDROM so there's only floppy
removed Hard drive
various key presses when power up
removed all the memory

I think this can be fixed cause there's something within the BIOS still recognizes that there's no memory (because when I removed memory it beeped constantly)

Please tell me there's a secret key press or a certain hardware configuration I need to get this thing to boot off floppy again.

thank you

the only secret keys i can think of are on your phone and the certain hardware configuration involves transportation to a repair service
i don´t think you can solve this on your own.
