I left it unplugged for about an hour and a quarter. I thought that part of the connector was a plug and /nearly/ broke it, but it isnвЂ™t, just pull the wires straight out. When you get to the cmos battery, leave the battery where it is (stuck to the board with a pad) and pull out the wires where they go into the white connecter on the board. I didnвЂ™t realise this and broke the connector for the touchpad :-(. Some of them work like the penultimate picture of step 8 (removing the keyboard) where you need to hinge the black bit away from the board. I managed to reset the bios (or cmos, I donвЂ™t really know the difference) by disconnecting the cmos battery.ДЇollow the guide above, but skip step 3 (removing the ram) and step 6 (removing the heat sink).Д¬areful with the cable connectors.

I booted, it gave me an error with вЂ Windows system 32 вЂ + asked to reinstall Vista. I read this on a site that this might also be the default for the Hard drive. I put in вЂpheonixвЂ™ as this is the default for the Bios lock. It asked for the hard drive pasword to be вЂsetвЂ™ in the Bios. it re-set the clock and I thought that it may cause the default settings for the hardrive to return.
