First of all great forums. been reading down here for quite a while now. signed up today because i was hoping maybe somebody could help me out. im running at the end of my rope on this laptop.
So my girlfriend has a
Packard Bell Easynote LV11HR - 3145NL
Model NO: VG70
After attempting to reset the bios password. (Bios settings>Change Password>Blank>Enter) It now asks me for a password and just hitting enter doesnt function. now ive tried many combinations. old password blank. possible backdoor combinations. (Till i figured out insyde doesnt have a backdoor) Then i
- Took out cmos battery
- Left For 24 hours. (No results)
- Searched the entire motherboard for a cmos clear jumper in the typical positions (underneath ram) i could only find jrst2001 and the jrst2002 jumper these will reset the computer but it still asks for a password on boot.
-Attempted to flash new bios from boot block. finds usb but possibly because the bios is not broken it doesnt flash??.
-Contacted Packard Bell. said that they want to charge me for a repair.
Im at the end of my rope. anyone have any other ideas? willing to try anything
Edit:
Also. the cmos battery holder seems to be broken. it doesnt hold. not like it matters. everything is stored somewehere else anyway with these new dammed insyde bioses. why do they even have cmos batterys. so i took it out permanently
