is follow the on screen to get it to the bios >setup menu<,
u may need to rember what key to hit.?
then power unit off and keep hitting that key until u get the setup menu..

ok i got bad news and good news. the bad news is that King Spec drive blew up and also destroyed the motherboard. CPU, ram and power supply are all fine coz they work on another board. The monitor light just keeps flashing and the screen is blank, tried removing the battery for over 15 minutes but didnt do anything.
good news is i have another motherboard with a problem :D
i cannot get it to boot a cd or hard drive, just a blank screen. ive noticed it takes ages to get into BIOS when it eventually decides to make it there but no idea what causes this

I think you should just throw in the towel at this point, before you waist any more time and money on these old parts. They are just not worth it. Get yourself a i810/e chipset mobo (force) or a nForce2 mobo (ion) and i'll help you get it running. You can get sec keys way newer then any maxx version for cheap.

yeah I guess I have no choice, but I would to know why this other board will not get past bios and load a hard drive or cdrom

Thats usually a sign of the mobo going. Could be Capacitors, regulators, Southbridge, Northbridge. I have a few of the same i810 mobo's and two of them boot quick. Another one takes over a minute to get past post (bios) and finally boot linux from the hard drive. The bios chips are socketed so it was easy to swap the chips, but makes no change, so it isnt the bios chip.
Like i said, just give up m8. If you want to get a megatouch working, i could help you with that as long as you have a mobo with a i810/e/i815 or nForce2/4 chipset. Im working on a patch to get 3m SMT-3 touch controller working on force/ion. So you can even reuse a XL/Maxx cabinet without replacing the crt/touch glass/controller.
