Instead of looking for an EEPROM, try pulling the CMOS battery for a few minutes

IF you want to reset the administrator password for either a laptop or a desktop. Download a copy of ERD Commander from a torrent site or MIRC and boot into the cd and there is a setting there under Start-->Administrator Tools-->Lock Smith, Just follow the instruction and it will over Wright the existing one.

Get into the setup screen and carefully look for a password option... Turn this option off!

You better get the fan fixed before you fry something or the computer fails to power up at all

How do you know that the fan works? Just because you can turn it by hand doesn't mean the fan is good. No I don't ICQ
