Hi guys !! I have searched everywhere and it seems the info on how to short these things are under lock and key? we need someone to share the wealth. this is horrible!
i paid an arm and a leg for a brick!!! could ANYONE help me?
Click to expand...

the password is mentioned in the forums as many times as the link to the shorting instruction BUT if you want to do that on a d830 - forget it. this method will not work on newer latitude models.
maybe you can tell a little more about why and what you need first?

btw a d830 is pretty new so why don't you call dell and let them help you. help is part of the warranty which this laptop should still have unless it was stolen.
 
Help with hp omnibook 6000 bios password

hi all! I HAVE A OMNIBOOK 6000 and cannot get into my bios, my hash code 03053. Can anyone help? I got this laptop from a friend because they could not remember the bios password. Please help i would greatly appreciate it.

Rick
 
Thanks for the insight, I did read thatand it referenced Dell computers. I have a HP omnibook 6000 and it is my understanding that if I can get the Master Password, I should be able to get intot the BIOS and change the password.
 
Heh, I cracked mine using the shorting method. I have a sense of accomplishment now ;\

Anyone who needs detailed or any at all instructions on bypassing the BIOS password on a Dell Latitude C400, AIM me at HalfLife205.
 
some help please

I could be putting this dell d620 laptop to use. I have been able to do nothing with it for months. I just need a little help from whoever is out there that can help me. I have a grey screen. service tag # is 69V5KC1 / express code # is 13657217329. A early christmas present from santa would be very nice. Password Please Sir

Hi everyone, a friend of mine asked me for repairing his laptop (Dell Latitude D620), his uncle bought it at a flea market in texas but when he turned it on(here at mexico, the battery was discharged) he realized it has a bios pass, i tried to locate the 24c02 but i read all the post in some threads, and there's no solution at least with the shorting method. the number is #5PLSKB1-595B. I don't know if it's stolen or not, the only thing i know is it has bios pass, could anyone of here help me to unlock it?

Latitude c400 not powering up

Dell latitude c400, just shorted the BIOS password, got it working. Booted it a few times on XP, worked fine. I was powering it off the mains then.

I then tested the battery life, so I turned it on without the power cord, but half way through draining I had to go to my other house, so I flipped the lid down and carried it to my car (I believe shutting the lid when only powered by battery puts it to sleep, or on standby?).

It would not power off the battery alone when in the car, and still does not, even though I left it with 50% charge. It does also not power up when plugged into the mains anymore.

Very puzzled, any help would be appreciated

- Jake


NB: The battery charge light flashes green approximately once every 10 seconds.

Generally, not possible to happen without keyboard action or fingerprint action.
Darn near impossible to fix on a Thinkpad without replacing the Motherboard.
Met a lot of people who claim they can do it. Nobody has actually produced, that I have heard about.
Good luck. Let us know if you get a reliable source.
Try calling IBM
If you are a registered owner, call 1-(800) 426-7378 and have handy your serial number, type number and relevant part numbers or look for IBMSERV.

here's the datasheet showing 24c256 chip with 8 pins and 14 pins. the notch at the top of the chip indicate pin 1 on the left. pin 8 is across from it. pin 4 is gound, pin 5 is sda, and pin 6 is scl. it looks like this:
1-o-----o-8
2-o-----o-7
3-o-----o-6 <-------- SCL
4-o-----o-5 <--------SDA PIN 4 IS GROUND
on the 14 pin chip, ground is pin 6, sda is pin 8 and scl is pin 10. GROUND can be anywhere on the chassis. all you need to worry about is pin 8 & 10 or 5 & 6.
good luck.
