The netbook had a failed HDD so it could only get to the BIOS. In short you have a dead netbook. May want to find a working PC for them.
Guys, I've been given a 10" netbook to fix for someone who can't afford to pay much, I said I would look at it for no charge.
Turning it on boots straight into BIOS and from the provisional attempts I've made, resetting to defaults has absolutely no effect at all.
Windows 8 was originally installed but W10 might have been loaded. Nothing is accessible anyway.
Any ideas please, as to how to attempt access to anything other than BIOS ?
Many thanks.
