    Had to disconnect CMOS battery. Now wont go past recovery utility....

    Bios reset to factory specs and date is 2009. I have a dell latitude e6400 ATG service tag: 5MPVHL1 1F5A

    Searching the site seems to show that I have to do some serious business to either bypass or generate a password and the only one who can do it for me is on the Ivory Coast.
    5MPVHL1 1F5A any takers? I need a bios password.

    Running Windows 7 64bit
    Upgraded wifi and running Solid State Drive.
    4 gb ram
    Dual core 3gb T9900. It's not a gamer, but is very stable and puts up with my abuse.

    Ran this configuration for the last 12 months no problem, but had to remove mother board to replace the USB/Audio daughter board.
    Now, I can see the hard drive and all the windows files on the command prompt, but wont boot.

    All I can think of is that the Bios needs to be updated with a download from Dell.

    Can I boot off an UBUNTU ISO DVD and then update the BIOS from the dell website that way?

    Any thoughts.

      Sounds like SSD corruption. I would wipe the SSD and reinstall the OS.

          Macbook air m1 can't access the recovery options by pressing and holding the power button
          by conghuyms
          I have an M1 MacBook Air (A2337) 2020 that came in for water damage and will not turn on. Upon opening it, I saw that the audio board was severely corroded. I disconnected it, and the device started working.

          After that, I dealt with the issues on the audio board by removing the capacitors that were shorted to ground, and the device started working. However, I encountered another problem: I can't access the recovery options by pressing and holding the power button. I'm not sure if it's a hardware issue or if the recovery partition has been lost. Currently, the system's time isn't updating,...

          Chromebook recovery failed - how to fix it
          by volinakis
          So I had a Asus C433T Chromebook enrolled and after I modified bios I had to reinstall Chromium. I made a USB recovery stick with Chromebook Recovery Utility but I got "an unexpected error has occurred ..." message. I did try with another USB stick, etc. etc. -all steps found on internet about this issue and nothing worked.
          Finally I found a site where they suggested to try with an older image and ... it worked!
          What I did:
          - when “Chrome OS is missing or damaged” message appeared I pressed Tab key and found: read only firmware id: Google_Rammus. xxxxx.xxx.x....
