Hello,
I just built two Asus G50VT's from parts, Both work....one sort of, I just had the nvram hang happen, because of a nvidia windows 7 update I initiated at the nvidia site, thanks to the pull power,pull battery, press reset button(hidden well in ram/cpu compartment) worked great.
now it works, but the other one has a bios password on the motherboard I bought and it allows me to boot after 3 failed attempts but I can't get into the bios to change the system time. does anyone know how to clear the password? I tried the cmos battery unplug, UBCD tools even the standard OEM passwords I could find on the web,but alas to no avail. I think that the password is stored in some eeprom not directly part of the cmos because I did a dos aflash of all the current bios rom 205 209 210 and 213 all worked but password remained. any help would be appreciated.... thanks in advance.

Update..... I found an Asus Bios password service notebookschematic@gmail.com that for $12 and the default system date you can get the asus master password. I had left the system with bios 210 on it and a the default system date...every time you boot up... was January 08,2009. I paid and sent the date to the service and they replied with a question....why jan 08.... I explained that when you can't get into the bios to change the date, and do a blind bios flash then the system date is the default date of the bios... he included 4 possible passwords and I used 91DDO10D and it worked.... but I am sure this will only work if you have bios 210 installed and a system date of January 08, 2009.. I now have two fully functional G50VT's..... one will be on ebay in a couple of weeks.....lol
