Lost the Rider CLEAR CMOS

Question

Hello, after assembling a computer, I removed the jumper from my motherboard and unfortunately lost it afterward. When I finished building my computer, I encountered a problem, and I think the cause might be the lack of this part, but I'm not entirely sure, so I'm asking the question, thank you.

PC problem: when starting up, nothing appears on the screen, and the keyboard and mouse turn off and on repeatedly, however, the computer is functioning.

Hello.
Yes, indeed without this jumper, your PC can't start.
You can get one in a salvage yard or make one yourself because this jumper is just a metal piece that serves to short-circuit two points located on the motherboard.

Hi

When you say "the computer works," I assume you mean that the fans are running, that's all?

The fact that the jumper used to clear the CMOS is no longer present has the sole consequence, which is not trivial, of systematically losing the BIOS settings. This does not prevent the initial display, which occurs before any disk reading.

So of course you'll need to put in a new jumper, but your problem will persist. Instead, test your components to identify which one (or ones) has an issue. The first thing to do is to test the motherboard by disconnecting all components and listening to see if it beeps or not.

Hello,

Normally, this jumper is only to be moved to reset the BIOS. A tip: using the tip of a small screwdriver (flat), make the contact yourself; place the tip of the screwdriver between the two pins you want to short and gently turn until the connection is made.

Try your machine; I know it's not easy with only one hand, but at least we'll know for sure. However, as nagashima says, I doubt your problems are solely due to that : )

Best regards
