CMOS bad ? factory default settings
For compaq PC's, I found this note I wrote in an old Service QRG ( from
2001): 1. Hold Fn key and power up. 2. Tap Fn+F11 quickly 3. mem counts up 4. disk seeks 5. Then get " Error 162" ( this normal) 6. Press F1 to "Save Changes" - now back to factory default settings Might still work on current pc's ?? |
CMOS bad ? factory default settings
Hi!
My somewhat educated guess is that it would work with any system carrying a true Compaq BIOS and with an FN key. I say "educated" because I once found a set of keystrokes to turn on a software keyboard click on a Compaq XT-class system described in Peter Norton's "Inside The IBM PC" book. To my complete amazement, it worked perfectly on my then current laptop, a Contura 410C. I guess the code to support that feature never was removed, at least not to that point. William |
