laptop: Acer Helios 300 PH317-53 I attempted to configure dual boot between Linux and Windows on separate SSDs. Before installing Linux in BIOS, I disabled RST and used AHCI instead. I set the BIOS supervisor password, turned off Secure Boot, and accessed the Windows boot manager. After installing Manjaro with KDE, the installation worked fine. However, when trying to boot from BIOS, I encountered an error—just a "-" appeared in the top left corner, and nothing else. The Linux SSD didn’t appear to fix the issue. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Execute the command in a root terminal to initiate the firmware setup. Once inside UEFI, disable any fast boot features and check if the problem resolves.

I attempted that command, but it keeps directing me to the black screen with a white text in the top left corner instead of opening the BIOS.
