Try holding down the SHIFT key when booting. Keep holding down the key until the startup progress messages appear. If that doesn’t work: Are you seeing a startup message of the form “Keyboard not present: autobooting”? That can indicate you’ve got too many USB devices connected: unplug everything else (including hubs) and try again with only the keyboard connected. Thirdly, it may be the keyboard itself. Some keyboards treat a key being held down at power-on as a “stuck key” so won’t signal it is being pressed: you may find that a different keyboard will work. |

That worked for me when the computer didn’t react on SHIFT or ‘*’ (wireless keyboard). |

Seems for the RK3399 ROM another behaviour was implemented. |
