A buddy brought me this to fix. Turns on and opens to the American Megatrends BIOS page. The bad news is it says. SATA PortO ST3750528AS CC44
S.M.A.R.T. Capable and Status BAD
AHCI PortO Device Error
Press F1 to resume
Big problem, since it wont power the USB that operates the wireless keyboard at this stage. With no keyboard I cant or press 1 or get to the boot menu. I was going to boot from a CD or a USB stick but I have no keyboard to let me F12 it.
Is this thing a brick ?
Thanks
