Remove bios password on Toshiba L350 - 150

[pecrie]

Trying to get the password removed.But I have read that in
the older Toshibas laptops the password is not in the bios chip.

Is it still possible to get the PW removed and get the laptop up and running ?

It is the L350-150 with the MB - 6050 A 2170401 - MB - A03
with the Intel Centrino CPU and AC826M45 Graphic chip

I've tried with the challenge code removal - but it's not working.

Any help would be appreciated

There should be an xxx connector under ram chip area. You basically remove all power then jumper the 2 together, then plug in adapter and remove the jumper. Very simple. There are videos on web to show exactly. Hope this helps

Thanks but alas this MB does not have a reset jumper.Well I couldn't find it anyway.
I also did disconnect the 3.3V battery but that didn't help either.

So the only solution would be to replace the bios and KB chip , and then re - programm them ??

To flash the KBC I would need a special programmer , one that will connect to the KB connector , if I'm right ??

Thank you guys for the support.

@Jesse james ,

It seems that I did not really understood your indication for the bios reset pads.After another inspection , I did notice the XXX next to the B500 pads.

By reading many articles about the bios reset on (this) Toshiba laptops and watching many You tube vids , I understood that B500 or PJ500 is the reset pads.

On this MB there is a text in the vicinity of the pads which says : PS10 (it could mean Print Short 10)

So I will do what Jesse has suggested and eport back.

SMDFlea also gave a good link to look for the reset pads.

Update : following the instructions (by Jesse and the weblink by SMDFlea) the bios /user password is now removed.

So all is well
