hi I’ve got an aspire C24 without a screen, and I want to access the bios but the pc still believes the screen is existing and doesn’t display anything on the external monitor until the windows login screen. I’ve already tried the switch display button on the keyboard without success. Help much appreciated.

    BIOS is always only on attached screen for laptops. BIOS starts up with pretty much only bundled components powered on with appropriate drivers. External monitors need video out and that is disabled.

    And an all in one is basically the same as a laptop in design… We've seen models that always try to put the BIOS on the internal screen, even when the internal screen connector is physically removed from the motherboard. You don't tell use which C24 model you have, and there have been a lot of them over the years. Your full model number is usually on the same sticker as your serial number, it should look something like C24-xxx-xxxx. Depending on the age it might be best to just replace the system, replace the screen or send it in to a service center for repair.
