ZAB/ZAB A,B/ZYJA BLOCK DIAGRAM Acer Aspire
Hey there people
While working on my Acer Aspire with the OS failing to load, I encountered a motherboard number of DA0ZHQMB6E 0 REV: E. I was getting nowhere fast or slow, for that matter.
This is what I tried, but not in any order.
Google
YouTube
BIOS
Command Prompt (administrator privileges)
>
On Google AND YouTube, I was getting mixed messages, try this and try that, but when you cross reference the advice it is either the wrong model (even though you enter the correct search term) a YouTube case in point, with the search term "how to reset motherboard on HP Stream laptop "https://www.youtube.com/results?sear...+Stream+laptop" mistakenly this is NOT what I am seeking.
Google on the other hand is good but I must be using the wrong search term "da0y07mb6E0 motherboard factory reset pads" https://www.google.com/search?q=da0y...t=gws-wiz-serp
>
The first hit on that is an ASUS, even though my search term states "da0y07mb6E0 motherboard factory reset pads"
>
BIOS just does not help me, plus there is no CMOS battery to unplug
>
Finally, Command Prompt, sorry I have forgotten where I got up to with this particular area.
>
I don't know how, but I stumbled across https://www.badcaps.net/and its various Forum areas, plus I found a thread " [SOLVED] I'm looking for DA0ZY2MB6E0 REV E repair guide or schematics (free) - Electronics Forum"
>
So I managed to download said repair guide, which actually turns out to be a "block diagram" No worries, I then undertook a search within the PDF using the search term "reset", and this is the result.
>
The document contains the following content related to reset:
These references indicate various reset functionalities and components across different sections of the document.
>
Correct me if I am wrong, but of the SIX instances I don't think they apply (maybe the wrong terminology), I may have used the wrong search term. Advice needed.
>
The reason I am fixated on the term "reset" or "factory reset" is that I sat back, had a cup of tea, and thought about it logically: if I can take the machine back to when it left the production line, I can start with a clean sheet.
>
There are many more clever people out there than I, and I am always willing to learn.
>
Finally, I have looked at the motherboard under the illuminated bench magnifier, and I can not see any terminologies referencing "clear", or "reset" or even acronyms of that. If you have one of these motherboards, please upload an image showing the specified pads. PLEASE
>
So, after reading all of the above, I seek guidance on how to get back to factory settings.
Till later
