Solve : What type of BIOS do i have?? |
|
Answer» Pay attention... Pay attention...You beat me to it, Patio. I was just gonna post that, but, then remembered that some new laptops have the CMOS battery accessible on the bottom of the case, not unlike the RAM. I don't remember which ones, but it was a surprise to me. Never could understand why they didn't do that years ago. The memory module/coin-cell battery cover is #3 Quote from: patio on May 30, 2010, 05:52:00 PM Pay attention... Not particularly- laptops still have CMOS batteries. my old thinkpad has three batteries (well, ideally) a MAIN battery (which exploded) a standby battery (which also exploded) and a CMOS battery, which thankfully has not exploded. I use exploded with some hyperbole. They just SORTA started leaking. For laptops, most of the password advice is sound, of course, the password may just as easily be a HD password, which would immensely COMPLICATE things.

Its the bios :/On most laptops the CMOS battery is not usually easy to GET to... This is by design...to discourage theft and to make it difficult to re-set the machine. This is also why we don't ADVISE here at CH on how it should be done. Topic Closed. |
