Product: HP ProBook 450 G2 Base Model Notebook PC
Operating System: Linux
When pressing the ESC key during boot, the laptop stops responding. It doesn't load the Startup Menu, and it doesn't proceed to the OS.
Pressing any of the function keys during boot has the same problem.
Context: I just installed Linux Mint 22 and got a BootDevice Not Found issue. Troubleshooting that involves getting into the BIOS Setup, but I can't because of this problem.

if the screen stays like this you have a problem in the BIOS, I recommend to open the computer and remove the RTC battery and the main laptop battery for 15 seconds and then try again.
