    Hi everybody
    Recently i had to repair Southbridge on my laptop by a technician but after that, My laptop is unable to boot from nothing but HDD. despite changing all available settings on mobo(enabling boot from CD/DVD,USB HDD and etc) seems that none of them are being enabled.Is there any possible solution?
    My Laptop Specs are as follows

    Hi Ardavan,
    as your tech repaired the Southbridge, suggest you RE-install the chipset drivers.
    If that does not work, then update your Bios.

    Go into BIOS.
    If UEFI is on, switch it off.
    If it is off, switch it on.
    Enable Legacy.
    Try that.:)
