[RESOLVED] Magitronic 7500AC Laptop-ROM Password

[slmdiver]

I have a client that has a Magitronic 7500AC laptop. It has a ROM Password on it. I took it apart and the ROM battery is soldered on the board. I tried pulling the jumper by the battery and pulled the Rom Chip,but the password is still there. Does anyone know how I can remove this? It doens't even boot up to floppy so I can use a software killer. Any help at all is greatly appreciated.

Try shorting the two contacts eitherside of the battery. Perhaps a paper clip or something would reach it.....

Is there a bar bending down onto the battery.? If so, put a bit of paper between this and the battery top.

Alternativly, chuck it out the window! http://forums.windrivers.com/cgi-bin/forum/biggrin.gif

Is there anything on their website..?

Try one of the software bios reset programs that are available on certain sites.
I think ones called AMIBIOS if memmory serves worked on my PC but no guarantees.
