Abstract: According to one embodiment, an electronic device includes a display module, a power button, at least one function button, a hardware controller, and a pre-OS boot processor. The display module displays display data processed by an application on an operating system (OS) or display data based on received broadcast waves. The power button is operated to power on or off the electronic device. The function button is provided separately from a hardware keyboard having a plurality of keys to control a function defined on the OS. The hardware controller is activated in response to power-on operation made on the power button and provide the OS with basic input/output mechanism with respect to hardware including the function button. The pre-OS boot processor performs a process before boot-up of the OS if a predetermined operation is made on the function button within a predetermined time since the power-on operation is made.
