Hi, I'm an old nerdy guy that likes to tinker and fix stuff and learn stuff so I can fix even more stuff. I ask lots of questions and they tend to be hard ones so be prepared am. I haven't very much money so I have made dumpster diving my hobby and it is a great hobby here in Boulder Colorado do to the large number of rich kids that attend college at CU Boulder, iI CANT BELIEVE SOME OF THE STUFF i FIND. one OF MY RECENT AQUISITIONS IS A dell PRECISION 3571 LAPTOP, i AM TRYING TO FIND A WORK AROUND FOR THE POWER ON PASSWORD IN THE BIOS SO THAT i CAN USE IT. iT WAS THROWN AWAY BY THE MANAGEMENT AT A APARTMENT COMPLEX ALONG WITH EVERYTHING ELSE IN AN APAERTMENT THAT WAS OCCUPIED BY A PERSON WHO IS GOING TO PRISON FOR A VERY LONG TIME. i TRIED TO GET A BACK DOOR CODE FROM DELL BUT BECAUSE I DONT HAVE CERTAIN INFORMATION OR PROOF OF OWNERSHIPO THEY WOULDNT HELP ME. IT IS A SWEET MACHINE AND I REALL DONT WANT TO SCRAP IT SO i AM LOOKING FOR HELP. i also stink at typing and apologize for the upper case stuff, i just noticed the cap lock was on and dont want to retype all of that so please forgive me. I will surely have other items that I will seek help with and hope that iI can fit in here. Thanks and I hope y'all are having a spectacular day!Comment
