Ok, I am unsure if I am being thick or a little blind.
My dad had kindly bought me his laptop to liik at (thanks dad) because he's fcuked it again and it requires a clean image.
THe issue is he has put a password on his laptop so I cannot alter the boot sequence.
I stripped it to do a hard reset of BIOS (of what I though was the battery) put it together and then ran it again.
The problem is that either I got the wrong component or I did not keep it out long enough (I removed it for, just to be sure a full hour)
I contacted Acer and all they can reply with is 'mate, give us £50 and we'll do it for you'
The only thing I can think is to remove the HDD and then clean image it on another machine.
I have also tried the manual to see where the BOIS is kept but to no avail.
Does anyone know where it is located?
I will google to see where I can get some software to reset the BIOS.
Regards,
DB
