Physical memory dump

[Joe]

I tried what you've suggested but did not work. I noticed
that the keybord lights were not on. I assume then that
the keyboard is not functioning either and that's probably
why the F8 key is not working. This is very strange.
Well, thank you for helping. I hope I did not lose my data.
