Laptop Won’t POST. I Need To Reset The Bios But..

  • 1

The laptop won’t POST at all. I know it’s not a screen or graphics card issue. So I went to reset the bios by opening up the laptop to find the CMOS battery. The problem is that the CMOS battery is soldered onto the motherboard and I can’t find any pins as an alternative.

I’ve tried googling the manual for this laptop but I could never find a manual with the hardware aspect regarding the laptop. The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite L505D-GS6000, with windows 7 home on it.

If anybody has any ideas I am more than willing to try them out.

Thanks.

      just take a screw driver and short out the two leads of the BIOS battery where they are soldered to the motherboard. This will clear your BIOS. On a side note, I have seen the AMD processors fail, a lot. So you may want to try a test processor, just make sure that the year on the processor that you test with is the same as the original.
