Bios problem

 

I've had this latop for a while, and a minor problem began in the last few days.

When restarting or booting up, numlock was disabled, causing windows password error.

Remembering that numlock on boot is (usually) a bios setting, I went in it expecting to find it at value "no".

This bios is really dumbed-down (extremely simple/basic) and I never found any reference to numlock.

I did find a place that mentionned the bios was type legacy, with a choice to change to UEFI.

I figured UEFI might offer more controls, like the one I was looking for (numlock on boot), so I switch bios type to UEFI, then F10 to save and exit. Bad idea!

Now the pc doesn't boot anymore, it shows the Acer "explore no limits" splashscreen a moment, then a blue box that says:

No bootable device, Hit any key. There is a highlighted OK button.

If I click OK, it chose a different page entitled on top: 'Boot Manager"

2nd line says: Boot Option Menu

3rd line suggest using up and down arrow to change option, ENTER to select an option

 

Problem is up and down arrow dont do a thing, I have nothing that I can hit ENTER on

At this point, the only thing I can do is hit escape which gets me out of the light grey and blue bios previous page to a mostly back page with : No bootable device - - Please restart system

pressing any key on this page just repeat or retype the same message over and over again

 

I am really stuck and need help to switch back the bios to Legacy type ( I guess)

Thanks in advance
