how to get bios on a sn 41g

How to get bios start up screen on a shuttle sn 41g ?

I already am on the search for several weeks now , the former time i was helped out by a few topics from the internet as well from nforceHQ (dirty Harry's posting ), a few months ago. But now i seem to have been stuck with the matter already a few weeks, the machine seems not to willing to start booting.

Everyting seems to be functional on the hardware level ,like i already tested .
Their also seems to have to be followed a certain sequence off keyboardkeys for such a shuttle PC (ctrl+alt+insert, delete,...,F1,F2) to start up, if i heard or was informed correctly, to get the bios started up.

But all untill know i seem to have stayed in the dark about resolving this ,
last time it went out because of increasing the bus speed over 166 Mhz , and now
it was because of a corrupt mouse my machine didn't start posting anymore.
Is their perhaps sombody outtheir who can help me further arround this

Perhaps with a copy of the right boot disk

But i cannot get in the system , so i can not make the posting with anything actif untill now
Last time i seem to have been lucky with hitting the right keysequence with start up ,perhaps someone still knows a sequence order that works if you think to that this might help

Hope to get a reply soon ,am already in a nightmare with it a copple of nights

hey fred,


have you unplugged the psu and cleared the bios/cmos?

heatsink and case fans spin up when you hit the power on?

i'm thinking it could be the psu. can you beg, borrow or buy($15-20) a digital multimeter?

you could try booting with bare minimum hardware. hs/fan, igp and 1 stick of mem. disconnect harddrive, rom, case fan and any usb devices, etc.
