Hi all! i was reading 3 last nights through the net for a friends Dell D620: closed BIOS and locked harddrive (sATA, and its better to forget it, as i understand). i managed to open BIOS with a tool DST for usb sick from www.ihatedell.info (thanx lot for the page =) by clearing service tag.

question for the future:
coud anybody imagine to clear somehow a tag when the pc is locked? i mean if there is some immaginable way to boot from flash, or to get into (clearing) that enigmatical mx25l8005 with "not located" eeprom (i dont understand where it is, in keyboard controller, in the bios itself as prebios)
if somebody studied the architecture of that mx25l8005 perhaps allready having suggestions consurning "shortcutting"...

and thanx for a nice forum

I Have Purchased A Dell Latitude C600 From Comsol Fiji Limited And I Was Trying To Set Up Bios Password I Entered Some Numbers Surch As 8631786 But When I Restarted And The System Asked For The Password I Entered It But The System Did Not Accept That Password.

So Can Some One Pliz Help Me.

Its Written " This Computer System, #1z1q61s-595b, Is Protected By A Password Authentication System. You Cannot Access The Data On This Computer Without The Correct Password.

Please Type In The Primary Or Administrator Password And Press <enter>."

Thanks.

Thank you for the help, thank you for the board, THANK you for keeping all the old posts!!
The sob is unlocked.
ANYONE who needs help with an M70, feel free to
contact me.

The chip is ATMEL 24C04N, right under the video daughter board.
the trick is to plug in the small LED plate, so you know the power
is on. use one one side of the paperclip, just touch the middle
legs. I did both sides, then the fan came on.
If you do not plug in the small LED, (you have to remove it at the
top of the machine in order to remove the screen, you cannot miss it)
then the power light will just go on, then off. you will will not know the
unit is powered, and the cpu will absolutely overheat.

THANK YOU AGAIN.

ps there were no parts or screws left over...my old man
wwould have said I Fuc*ed up. He always had parts left
over....

The best repairmen in the world always have a screw left over, I do and I dont care as long as the dam thing works.

By the way if anyone is interested a LATC600 has about 40 screws and studs of various size that have to be removed to short the chip.

Where they all come from is a mystery and how they all go back in is a riddle in itself, I did try making a map, but it didnt work.


OH dear whos a silly billy.

The C600 has to be the easiest laptop to do, gettin to the chip is a bit of a pain, but when you do here's how to do the short

Short pin 3 and 6 together press the power button on and hold the short for 4 seconds, do this twice, and then hold the short and press the power button repeatedly (about 6 - 10 times) with the mains lead removed, replace the power lead and press the power button it should then go to the manufacturers screen.

Regards

Bloodomen did you get the password here in the forums or somewhere else?

@ ididmyc600, if u get an email from time2time from Rustam i guess u know him. Can u get his magic program so we still can help many people with the dualcore laptops,like myself. It looks he won't be around fo a long time.

It should be a very very good solution.

Fiddling with motherboards and trying to reset eproms and chips is a hazardous business at the best of times. OK - if there is no other way then that is all you can do, BUT ..... if you can prove ownership of the PC and it is still supported (which you can check on the DELL website), whether it be a laptop or a desktop, then DELL technical support can actually help! You need to have the PC TAG and the character sequence from the boot time/BIOS entry failure message, and then contact the local DELL TS. They can then email an unlock code which has to be typed in. I have done this many times at work, where users have left and their machines are unusable until unlocked.

How would i prove ownership i bought the laptop from someone else and didnt get any documentation.

i just bought a dell d400 service tag: JLCL741
EXPRESS SERVICE CODE:42649798465
IT SAYS ON THE "GREY SCREEN"
COMPUTER SYSTEM, #JLCL741-595B IS PROTECTED BY A ...............PLEASE ENTER PRIMARY OR ADMIN PASSWORD

595B
