Why do I get a black screen when trying to enter the BIOS on my SOYO M2 Mini PC using the Delete key?

If you are experiencing a black screen when attempting to enter the BIOS on your SOYO M2 Mini PC after making setting changes, it is likely that a display setting (such as Ultra Fast Boot or an incompatible resolution/refresh rate) is preventing the BIOS interface from rendering correctly on your monitor.Since you have already tried removing the CMOS battery without success, please try the following steps:Check the Display Connection: Ensure you are using the primary HDMI port. Some Mini PCs only output the BIOS splash screen to one specific port. If your monitor supports 4K, try a different monitor or a basic 1080p display, as the BIOS may not scale correctly to some 4K displays during the boot sequence.Perform a Hard CMOS Reset: Simply removing the battery for a short time may not be enough. Unplug the power adapter, remove the CMOS battery, and then press and hold the power button for 30 seconds to fully discharge the capacitors. Reinsert the battery and try again.Access via Windows Recovery: Since you mentioned Windows 10, try this method to bypass the Delete key: Go to Settings > Update & Security > Recovery.Under Advanced startup, click Restart now.After the PC restarts to the blue menu, select Troubleshoot > Advanced options > UEFI Firmware Settings and click Restart.Clear CMOS Jumper: If the motherboard has a "CLR_CMOS" jumper or a small pinhole button labeled "Reset," use a paperclip to press it while the device is powered off but plugged in (or follow the specific board markings).If the screen remains black even when using the Windows UEFI restart method, the BIOS may be attempting to output video to a non-existent internal header or a setting like "CSM" has been disabled. If these steps fail, you may need to contact SOYO customer support for a specific BIOS recovery file (firmware) to flash via a USB programmer, as the M2 manual does not list a user-accessible BIOS recovery shortcut.
