Found this note in old service manual:
If CMOS/BIOS gets hosed (even if can't see screen ) 1. Press " Fn + Power On " at same time. 2. Tap Fn+F11 a few times 3. Memory counts up, disk seeks and generates "Error 162 - Options not set " 4. Press F1 which saves changes and now BIOS is set back to factory default. |

I do have a Presario computer or two which would need their CMOS/BIOS restored. But my PC keyboards don't have a Fn key. Is there another key that can be subsistuted? Or do you have another recipe for PCs? Thank you very much in advance. Petrus |

Petrus My solution was mainly for laptops. On a desktop , just remove/disconnect the RTC-battery for 15 minutes or so - see www.hp.com service manual for your model on how to open case / where it's located on system board. |
