Title: BIOS PRINT SCREEN DOES NOT WORK !!!
Post by: fxv300 on April 18, 2017, 11:13:38 pm
I have opened a ticket with tech support.

Question:   BIOS PRINT SCREEN DOES NOT WORK !!!
According to the BIOS help you should be able to get a printscreen at any of the menus.

When I try and get a screenshot using F12 I get the following error. I have tried a PS2 Keyboard, and 3 different USB Keyboards. I have tried the Keyboard in every USB socket on the motherboard as well. Also tried the Keyboard print Screen key. Any clue how this is meant to work ?
I am on BIOS F5
You can see the pictures on my blog
I get error "USB key is not detected.

You have to have  USB drive inserted for the print screen feature to work.  It saves the output as a file.  Has always worked this way.

Yes indeed, I discovered that earlier. Shame the message you get is total rubbish.
Is that mentioned anywhere in the documentation?
Thanks for the feedback anyway.
