    HP G6000: Not Detecting CD-ROM Drive

    Is this a BIOS issue? Tried a working drive but still not detecting. BIOS needed reflashing?

    Maybe the connector on the motherboard is broken?

      Does the drive have power?

        Yes, drive has power; disc also spins up inside.

            I can speak for the wifi issue and you are correct. But I did a reflow of that issue-laptop and all was well. I'll do a reflow on this one and see.

            Thanks fort the tip.

                  **Need Help Unlocking BIOS and Hard Drive on Dell Precision 5820 Tower**
                  by federalhouse
                  Hi everyone,

                  I'm in need of assistance with a Dell Precision 5820 Tower. The BIOS is locked with "Dell Security Manager," preventing access to the HDD-1 hard drive.


                  **Background:**

                  I recently purchased this Dell Precision 5820 Tower from a recycler who salvages equipment from abandoned office spaces. The computer was left behind by its previous owner and was password locked. Given that it can run Windows 11, I saw this as an opportunity to upgrade my setup.


                  **What I've Tried So Far:**


                  1. I accessed

                  So I've worked on dozens of HP and Dell laptops and have never encountered this before.
                  Steps taken in my usual process.
                  Reset security settings in the BIOS
                  Ensure existing HD comes up into the OS
                  Shut down the laptop and disconnected the main battery
                  Removed old M2 drive and replaced with a new 1tb Mushkin Temptest NVME drive. (I'm aware the bus is Sata III but the drive should still work at a slower speed right? Been my experience in other laptops)
                  Replace battery connector and close up the laptop
