    This might be the solution: when laptop is powered on, you should get flashing white block in top right hand corner of screen - press F10 at this point and you should get into BIOS.

    If your keyboard's an "azerty" and you want "qwerty" you might want to get a replacement - there are 3rd party replacements out there, hopefully for the model you have. Did find a supplier for Compaq keyboards last year, but have mislaid the link. found this one now though: http://shop.store.yahoo.com/priorityelectronics/20comar74rep.
