Boot and BIOS access impossible... - Page 2

so last attempt:

Clear the CMOS, reset the BIOS by using the small jumper on the motherboard or by removing the battery from its slot and shorting the two contact terminals. Unplug the power cord before working inside and discharge static electricity by touching a metal part.

See you later, I'm leaving for 2 hours and I'll come back to check on your progress.

the druid without the potion.

Ciao.....1-Disconnect all the cables related to your PC (keyboard, mouse, power cable, VGA cable (screen), USB stick, etc...)
2-Open the PC and remove the silver flat battery
3-Turn on the PC without power, pressing the power button for 15 seconds without releasing
You may find this strange but it's a bit technical..........
4-Close the PC and reconnect everything as before with the XP CD inside
5-Turn on the PC; it will show you a screen with some writings.
6-Read carefully, a button will indicate the BIOS; press it
7-In the BIOS, set the CD to boot from the CD-ROM...
8-And save with F10..........and here we go
GOOD LUCK, it works every time!

Good evening!

I'm trying your two techniques tomorrow, the TV has been overrun by the guests (It was serving as my screen, since the original screen is out of order ^^' )

Thank you both, and I will keep you updated on the progress of things!

Hello!

Treviso, I did what you told me, but it's worse than before! I have no display anymore!
And, the druid, I already tried the technique with the knight but with no result either...

I'm lost..

Ciao. Tell me exactly what it shows on the screen....................if you did as I told you...everything will be fine. First display.................the writing in a field where you're asked to press F1
second display NO SYSTEM DISC OR ERROR
REPLACE AND STRIKE ANY KEY WHEN READY
3-RESTART THE PC WITH THE XP CD INSIDE. AT THE FIRST DISPLAY PRESS F2 AND HOLD TOGETHER. IT WILL GIVE YOU ACCESS TO THE BIOS. GO TO BOOT AND POSITION THE CD-ROM. SAVE THE DATA WITH F10 AND OK....................

Hello,

Well, I did exactly as you told me: I removed the flat battery, pressed the start button for 15 seconds, put the battery back in, and started it: I have no display, the screen is completely black...

Ciao. But when you removed the battery, did you disconnect all the cables connected to the PC before the operation (keyboard, mouse, power cable, etc.)... and also the VGA cable (screen)? You didn't touch the RAM, did you? They need to be checked. Make sure they are properly secured in their slots. After the operation, when you turn on the PC, do you wait for the processor fan and also the beep? Did you also secure the VGA cable (screen) well, otherwise it's impossible.

Hello,

Well now, I don't hear any beeping anymore and the fan stops after a while... I think the problem is getting worse ^^'

Hello. Your problem must be your motherboard........ otherwise this method is used on PCs that have this kind of problem. If it doesn't work, it means that the motherboard has a problem. It is used by manufacturers............

Mh, that's what I was thinking too, I'll try to see if it works with another motherboard ^^'

I'll keep you posted as soon as I can! Thanks ^^

Hello or Good evening!

Well, problem solved! The issue was actually twofold; both the motherboard AND the graphics card were dead!

How could this happen? hmm, according to the seller, due to excessive use from long hours of playing WoW!

Thanks to everyone who tried to help me! Have a good day/evening!
