How to clear the BIOS on an HP Pavilion 500-214ed

Hi all

in a Flash of genius unprecedented I accidentally disabled all the USB ports on my Pavilion 500-214ed. Which now leaves me with a useless system, since both USB keyboard and mouse do not work. So I need to reset the BIOS to factory settings.

I have found the ROM_RECOVERY (E16) jumper on the motherboard, which I guess is that I need to clear the BIOS, but I can't find a manual or something to let me know which jumper settings, I need.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance

Steve

Hi, Steve:

Normally, you can find that info on the motherboard plug page but it isn't here.

Have you tried to unplug the PC and carefully remove the cmos battery room and pressing the power button to remove all residual power to the motherboard?

If all goes well, remove the cmos battery will also clear the BIOS settings.

But if you look at the motherboard first, there are no jumpers labelled CMOS and password?

  • Folio 1040 G1: How to clear the bios password

    I got a laptop HP 1040 Folio G1. A few years ago, I would set the password of the bios on this subject.

    (I have still remember and use PW daily)

    But now, I didn't need to protect more bios password.

    I tried to delete it, but I found that - to just change it.

    NORMANLY, when to clear the bios password (eg on the desktop) the PC checks current PW (I have exceeded the stadium).

    In the box to request new password, put the ESC button. And then, the IPL has been removed.

    But on the Folio 1040 G1, it did not work.

    Pleas tell I can remove it or not (and how). Thanks to you all!

    Thank you Zincas, for your support. The last way you proposed (press the space button once) does not work.

    Instead, I find a simple way to solve.

    I have reset default of the manufacturer of the bios (early). BIOS now check the password has not appeared more!

    Thank you once again!

    Contact the previous user and ask the BIOS. If he tells you that BIOS is not for him, but he was not in the description of the product to return this laptop and write negative comments.

  • Satellite U300 - how to upgrade the BIOS on a Linux system?

    Attempt to update the BIOS of my U300-153, which is described as an operating system independent on the download page, I find that the upgrade file is provided in
    http://Support1.toshiba-tro.de/Tedd-files2/0/BIOS-20090304140640.zip
    does not include the files to create a bootable CD, as described in the instructions to the
    IOS http://eu.Computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/FAQ.jsp?z=234&service=eu&from=faq_selection&CFID=B & FID = TRO0000000b07
    where Option 2 step 2 lists the files that are in the zip, and they are required to make a bootable cd. The files listed are not in the zip.

    It forces me to use Windows. My Windows is broken and I can't fix it, because Windows repairs destroy data (clearly indicated on the packaging of recovery CD) and installations of Linux. My Linux works very well, and I don't want the windows more.

    So how can I upgrade the BIOS? Either:
    1. use a true independent bundle of BONES (ie the promised approach of bootable CD). I can't find such a thing here.
    2 reinstall Windows, which trashes the laptop.

    Any suggestions?

    Sincerely,
    Aleksander K

    > How to upgrade the BIOS on a Linux system?
    Is not possible since the BIOS on Toshiba page is a victory-based BIOS version and if you want to update the BIOS then you need to install the Windows operating system and then you can run the exe file

  • How to reach the BIOS in Fusion 5

    MacBook 13 "(early 2008), Intel Core 2 Duo, Lion, Fusion 5, Windows 8 Pro"

    Hello

    I want to open the BIOS settings to see for a PXE network boot option.

    In Guide´and User´s Food Guide beginners I can't find, how to reach the BIOS at startup of Fusion.

    What should do?

    czer27

    As it shows on the screen of the virtual machine, you enter the BIOS by pressing F2 or select the Start Menu by pressing the ESC key.  You must click in the display for it to accept input from the keyboard.  In addition on a MacBook you will also need to press the fn key at the same time with the F2 key depending on how you have preferences in OS X keyboard.

    Take a look on: access the BIOS when the MESSAGE screen cleared too quickly (1004129)

    BTW, you are in the VMware Workstation forum and in the future for VMware Fusion you should post in VMware Fusion® (for Mac).

  • How to access the BIOS on a Pavilion Elite e9237c with mouse and keyboard wireless?

    I have a desktop computer Pavilion Elite e9237 with a wireless keyboard and mouse. I tried to access the BIOS by pressing F10 at startup with no luck, and I can't access any of the other menus for the start-up eiither. I don't have a PS/2 port on my computer, so I can't get a wired keyboard and mouse. Does anyone know how to access the BIOS with this configuration?

    I bought a USB keyboard and he answered in the same way... No bios access. I then studied why it did not work and discovered that it was the way in which he has been connected to the computer. I had initially plugged into a USB hub when he was not working and I moved it directly into a USB port and it works! I plugged my keyboard wireless directly into the USB port and it works too! Thanks for your help... I wouldn't have thought of it if it wasn't for to recommend you the USB keyboard.
