How to reset the BIOS settings if there's no CMOS battery or jumper?
Hey guys,
So, I have this friend who messed up the BIOS settings on his Acer Aspire 5745G and now the laptop turns on but it's just a black screen. He said that he switched from his onboard video to his discreet video card and that's when the problem occurred. I know I can just remove the CMOS battery or short the 3 pin jumper with something metal to reset the BIOS settings but the problem is that I can't find either of these. It's really strange, I even brought out the whole motherboard and I still couldn't find it. I think I read somewhere there's a another way of resetting the settings but I can't remember it. Any help on this?
