reframing as a 'how to clear CMOS' question, rather than 'Bypass stupid Toshiba glitch'

better photos, some formatting

| Feb 9, 2011 at 7:53 | comment | added | barlop | Your battery(CMOS BATTERY) might be on the right hand edge of the motherboard in the bottom pic. 2 other things that look like batteries are near the CPU. I wouldn't expect more than one battery though.. so maybe none of them are batteries! BTW.. removing the battery should work. I'm thinking maybe the reason some have gone to the trouble of the DB25 dongle is perhaps because they didn't want to open the thing. | |
| Feb 9, 2011 at 7:47 | comment | added | barlop | I don't see much hope if in the odd situation of removing the battery and not getting anywhere, but try removing the battery then putting a coin over the contacts of where the battery is, then putting it back. But I doubt it'd work if people have gone to the trouble of building a DB25 dongle of some sort that similar laptops use. Have you unplugged the power cord too? And try pushing the power button when it's unplugged. maybe there's somewhere you can measure where electricity is and remove it! | |
| Feb 9, 2011 at 6:40 | comment | added | blee | Thanks Tyler. I will work on getting better photos, the ones you see are from my phone (best I could do at the moment). | |
| Feb 9, 2011 at 6:31 | comment | added | Tyler | The pads to reset may be under some of that plastic covering. I can't actually read really any of the silkscreening on the chips so it's hard to tell where your RTC is. If you can find the actual BIOS chip you can look it up online and usually figure out what to short to reset it. | |
