Can’t enter BIOS on NUC
You need to remove you'r storage (hdd, m.2 ssd) then try to enter the BIOS. If the BIOS is corrupted, you can check my thread which can help you restore it: https://www.reddit.com/r/intelnuc/comments/a3rykv/nuc8i7beh_corrupted_bios_version_56/ Also, if the bios is not corrupted, I recommend creating a bootable live linux usb, mount the fedora storage, rootsh into it, then try to fix it, If you can't fix it, at least with a live usb linux stick you can recover your data. If the storage is encrypted and you don't have the key and don't remember the password, the data is pretty much compromised. More on reddit.com

r/intelnuc on Reddit: Intel nuc works fine but refuse to show boot sequence to access bios
October 29, 2024 -

As the title suggests, I'm trying to access the BIOS to modify the fan profile. Unfortunately, it's a bit tricky... The method only works when unplugging the entire system, waiting a bit, and then plugging it back in, which then displays the "Intel NUC" logo. I need to be quick to press the F2 key during this boot sequence, as normally, pressing it during start-up or restart doesn't bring me to the Bios... and just turns the HDMI on and off during what seems to be the boot sequence, and immediately shows the Windows login. Even restarting via settings or the command prompt doesn't help, fast boot is off in Bios
