Strange deal

I have two identical versions of the same laptop.  One laptop was responding right away with an F2 entry into bios at the initialization state screen.  While the other one weren't, so I went to investigate about the last known bios virus which were something like 1999, pretty rare deal although supposedly I've read of possibilities of these sorts of infections aiding in the mbr resets, or basically when one goes in and overhauls a system wiping data clean.  So after I searched all this information, the post initialization screen state (prior to OS boot) flashes the F2 entry screen for bios setup.  :D

In any event, I did this amusing search online for the latest known bios virus called BadBios or something like this, and apparently someone's contention of this bug were high frequency transmissions from say speakers in the appropriate vicinity to ethernet lines (apparently transmitting viruses via network data packages using something like one should imagine as a breaching a cable's signal shielding...sort of crazy deal there)....I'd propose some alternate scenarios...consider a gas lighted laptop with a bios chip implanted on the laptop that is specifically designed for and by eavesdroppers, or consider for instance, a software designed interface to hardware that runs in collusion with any given boot loader which basically instructs any partition manager to hide and ignore and miss report hard drive data say concerning a hidden partition.

Of course, one could get into any number of conspiracy theories here...laptops and many computing devices that are secretly wired 3G and 4G, that one could potentially transmit data to and from without a user realizing this being the case...generally you might only know if these devices were doing so by their inordinate use of power (meaning they drain batteries faster than one might expect for such a device), unless you were an expert to spot such a chip on the circuit board.  Consider being able to communicate also rapidly too and from a laptop during power initialization prior to a boot load.  Is it possible?  Yes seems that I might have encountered this phenomenon if it weren't potentially coincidental.  

My other favorite, though, and at the moment its suspicion is localized frequency modulation transmission of data too and from portable electronic devices.  This could be, for instance, an mp3 player with a little fm radio transmitter...set to send and receive data transmissions.  I've also read somewhere of broadband data transmission through electrical power lines.
