    Hi,

    Actually, I was able to enter bios once by hitting Esc. Saw an option something like boot order, there was an option Intel Linux, along with Windos, etc. So I selected that, I wanted to see if the system came with built in Linux system.

    But it still boots up in Windows. Now I try to enter bios again, when I press Esc, I just face a blank black screen, tried other keys, but the same behaviour.

    So now my problem is how to (re)enter bios. Googled around for suggestions nothing worked.

    Any ideas please?

     

    TiA!

    So much bad luck with this laptop. 🙁

    Unfortunately, I cannot remove one of the screws. Brought the laptop in a shop just to remove one of the pesky screws, but they said had to drill just to get the tiny screw.

    Still stocked with how to enter/reset the bios. 🙁

    bullshit. these are philips head screws what you can open with every little cross screwdriver.
    There is only to drill if somebody messed up the head. Often it still can be removed by a little hexagon or spiky hexagon screwdriver.

    And if it is from a shop they messed it up and should fix it.

    hi,

    it does look like the head is messed up. it was from factory for sure, because it wouldn’t already budge the first time i tried to unscrew it.

    use one of these like the blue torx one NOT cheap China crap (too soft).
    Stick in, apply pressure (more than you would use with the normal screwdriver) and twist slowly. when it turns, lower pressure.

    The head needs to be smaller than the philips head because it has to go halfway in.

    If you can not get a new screw, carefully tighten again with the torx

    the black yellow and red cable from the main battery.

    remove the black sticky tape what sits on the copper cooling tin so you can get on the battery plug.

    remove for 10 min

    plug back and repaste the black tape

    the main battery is the cmos battery also

    Hello,

    Thanks a lot for your patience.

    I haven’t opened a laptop before, I still cannot find anything that resembles a battery, in a regular computer’s motherboard, it’s easy to spot that circular battery.

    I’ve attached pic where there are tapes and highlighted the sections where I peeled the tape.

    Thank you again.

    look at the picture than my post above make sense
    and with uplug this cable I mean all cables not only the yellow one (since the arrow is just pointing direct at the yellow cable)

    picture 2 shows a disconnected cable.

    use a plastic pry tool or carefully a small flat screwdriver, wiggle at both ends of the plug too loosen and gently pull on the cable
