I read the forums and try to find a       solution, unfortunately unsuccessfully.              there are tiny buttons on recent motherboards:"RESET/CMOS-CLR".       older PCs had a jumper near the CMOS battery (lift it for a second).       very old machines need a temporary remove of the battery.              > Has anyone from this forum ever done anything like that? Maybe it is       possible to simulate "no CMOS batteries"? And this way you can restore BIOS? I       would like to know how to program it.              I haven't seen any software simulation for this, and I hope hardware       remain stubborn on this matter in future too.              There are (device-specific) bits in the flash-ROM control-port which       could be connected to a (fictive yet) CMOS=RESET-gate.              But it may be good advice to not play around with the Flash-Rom as long       you're not absolutely sure to know all details about your hardware.       __       wolfgang              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
