@@Thecomedy_career After a liquid spill, you want to first make sure the computer is 100% dry. You would turn your computer off immediately by pressing and holding the power button until the computer turns off. Then you would disassemble the computer as much as your comfortable with, at least trying to remove the bottom case. Then you would turn it on its side and let dry for a couple days.

Absolute legend. !!!! I was given an acer computer by my mother and her partner and I couldn't get into it. Just kept saying reboot blablabla. Absolute lifesaver dude 👍👍👍
My "No Bootable Device" problem, comes and goes (When it happen, I need to restart my laptop a few times dan back to normal). Any advice on this kind of problem? Is this more on hardware problem?
@@PC_Monkey Same here. Lifesaver. Thanks. I guess now I just have to Google what changing to legacy means for the laptop and future functions though. Lol
Look for UEFI in the boot tab... My BIOS on my ancient H55 mother board doesn't show boot configuration. But shows UEFI with an enable or disable option. I set it to enable and it worked.
Unbelievable. That's all that was stopping me from booting for more than a month after trying so many other things. Wrong date and time. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much! This was very helpful. That was the easiest solution I've read and watched. I almost had a mental breakdown as I need all the files saved on the laptop the very same day and so, I'm glad I found your vid, and now it is fixed! Thank you so much.
Sometimes Legacy is set as CSM. Can you see CSM? If you cannot locate the options to switch between or if switching does not work, then skip that step and continue with the rest of the video :)

I had just cloned my hard drive to an identical notebook but the machine gave me "no bootable device." All I did was disable Legacy boot and it booted up properly. So thank you so much.
All BIOS are different. Some require you to use the tab keys, arrow keys, etc. If you cannot find anything that works, try an external keyboard or mouse :)
@@PC_Monkey omg. This thing keeps doing this and now it is having issues even giving me a screen when I try to restart. This all just started happening after I downloaded WOW to play on this laptop. It’s an acer that my son added memory to and also swapped to a SSD drive. Haven’t had any issues whatsoever till this. Any suggestions to get it back to a bootable/readable screen? If I can get it restarted I will run system check and delete the game. Thanks
This is a few years old, but I got this error this morning. I followed the steps for switching to Legecy, but I didn’t have the option too. The only option it gives me is the UEFI. Weirdly enough, picking it again (even though it was my only option) fixed the issue. My computer has been having problems since the day I got it, so it didn’t come off the shelf built the way it was supposed to. I’ve been meaning to get it checked, but haven’t had the time. I’ve only had this thing for 4 years, and it’s given me more problems than my laptop from 2008 that lived until 2019. And that old laptop only stopped being used because it couldn’t display the screen anymore. But anyway, it did work out, but is it odd that I don’t have an option to switch to Legacy? There wasn’t even a ‘disable/enable’ thing either. The only thing I can think would be odd is that this Acer laptop is geared more towards handling games. That and it was built in 2019 and doesn’t seem to have been built that well.
Thank you so much. This is the second time this happened to me. Last time, I asked someome else to fix it for me but this time I wanted to fix it myself. I will come straight to your channel if something ever happens to my computer. ❤
Oh my!! THANK GOD IT WORKS!! 😭🙏🏻✨ THANK YOU SO MUCH! The first one didn't fixed it but still followed the next one and then it was fixed 😭🙏🏻✨. I spent money to ugprade this laptop months ago and then after not being able to use it for a while that seems eternity (2/3months maybe?), it suddenly says "no bootable device" when I started it. I really need this right now since I'm back to school after a SY Break and badly need to use it for programming subjects 🤧✨

@@PC_Monkey hi, when i do the f2 thing it asks for my laptop password, when i put in my password it says that its wrong what can i do?
Under my Boot tab, I only see Boot Priority Order. Nothing about Boot Configuration. Please help!
Same here!
Did you resolve your problem ? Because my pc has the same problem
@@leteodu76 yes, I bought a new laptop 😆
Look for UEFI in the boot tab... My BIOS on my ancient H55 mother board doesn't show boot configuration. But shows UEFI with an enable or disable option. I set it to enable and it worked.
Will not allow year to change.
Unbelievable. That's all that was stopping me from booting for more than a month after trying so many other things. Wrong date and time. Thank you so much.

Sometimes Legacy is set as CSM. Can you see CSM? If you cannot locate the options to switch between or if switching does not work, then skip that step and continue with the rest of the video :)

Thank you so much! This was so helpful!

For some reason, I can’t use the arrows to select anything. Pls help.
All BIOS are different. Some require you to use the tab keys, arrow keys, etc. If you cannot find anything that works, try an external keyboard or mouse :)
My up and down arrows wouldn’t work until I created a supervisor passcode under the Security tab
My lap doesn’t even open the f2 sittings :(!
Same bud same...😶
Have you resolved the problem?
You might have to do escape or control alt delete
@@ARealHumanGuy it is still saying the same thing too
Guys, if none of those things worked, try holding shift while booting the pc
Man, you literally saved me.
@@xerxesdiaries545did it work for you?
Right or left shift?

@@PC_Monkey omg. This thing keeps doing this and now it is having issues even giving me a screen when I try to restart. This all just started happening after I downloaded WOW to play on this laptop. It’s an acer that my son added memory to and also swapped to a SSD drive. Haven’t had any issues whatsoever till this. Any suggestions to get it back to a bootable/readable screen? If I can get it restarted I will run system check and delete the game. Thanks

This is a few years old, but I got this error this morning. I followed the steps for switching to Legecy, but I didn’t have the option too. The only option it gives me is the UEFI. Weirdly enough, picking it again (even though it was my only option) fixed the issue.
My computer has been having problems since the day I got it, so it didn’t come off the shelf built the way it was supposed to. I’ve been meaning to get it checked, but haven’t had the time. I’ve only had this thing for 4 years, and it’s given me more problems than my laptop from 2008 that lived until 2019. And that old laptop only stopped being used because it couldn’t display the screen anymore.
But anyway, it did work out, but is it odd that I don’t have an option to switch to Legacy? There wasn’t even a ‘disable/enable’ thing either. The only thing I can think would be odd is that this Acer laptop is geared more towards handling games. That and it was built in 2019 and doesn’t seem to have been built that well.

Hey! My Acer laptop didn’t have an option to switch to Legacy too. How did you fix it?
Thank you so much. This is the second time this happened to me. Last time, I asked someome else to fix it for me but this time I wanted to fix it myself. I will come straight to your channel if something ever happens to my computer. ❤
