Yesterday I came up with a brilliant idea to remove my Manjaro partition since I wanted to switch to Ubuntu. Usually I don’t face much trouble with this process except now. When I power on my laptop it displays: error: no such partition. Entering rescue mode... grub rescue> Now it’s completely impossible for me to boot from a drive or access the BIOS, even though I could get into the BIOS if I wanted to fix things. But somehow I can’t, despite not having quick boot enabled. I tried pressing the escape key and all other function keys, but nothing worked. I also attempted using a Windows and Ubuntu live disk, but again no success. I realized I made a mistake deleting the partition and the worst part is I can’t even open my laptop quickly to disconnect the drive and try booting into the BIOS again.

It seems you're trying to identify the specific laptop model. Some devices use alternative key combinations for accessing BIOS, like Delete or Escape instead of the standard F keys. Let me know if you'd like help narrowing it down!
