Lenovo laptop board no External Display in BIOS

[arham]

Hi,

Need a little help with this one. I have one board that I need to use for a project, no complete laptop, board only. Board model is LA-A321p, from a Lenovo M30-70.

After Windows boots, works fine, everything ok, but I can't seem to be able to get image in the HDMI before booting to Windows. I need to access the BIOS and I don't have an internal display.

I have a friend with a complete, same model, laptop and I have tried accessing BIOS hidden Advanced Setting and changed the Primary Display options and nothing works (IGFX, PEG, PCI and SG).

Also, this board doesn't have a dedicated GPU, could that be a problem?

What can I do to try and have this working? I have a BIOS Programmer (EZP2019+) if that helps

Thanks

Does your model has a recovery button near power switch or on the sides of usb port?? If yes,try switching on with recovery button.

Yes, but it's the same. Boots with internal screen only
