CMOS is an on-board semiconductor chip powered by a CMOS battery inside computers that stores information such as the system time and date and the system hardware settings for your computer..



If your computer won't boot without a password or you need a password to enter the computer set-up or change the settings, then you have a BIOS password set. BIOS is an acronym for basic input/output system.

The BIOS is the basic instruction set that teaches the computer how to access disk drives, keyboard, display etc. The BIOS is typically placed on a ROM chip in the computer hence the term ROM BIOS.

The ROM BIOS allows the computer to boot itself. The BIOS is required to boot the computer. Thus, if the BIOS is password protected, the computer will not boot (or you will not be able to enter or change the BIOS settings.)

You can go into the bios and on those drives that are not found you can turn them OFF or N/A. They are probably set to AUTO or ON.

If that does not work I would say remove the power cord, remove the cover, then remove the main power to the motherboard then plug the main power to the motherboard back it. The main power will run from the power supply and the end of it will be about a 2 inch strip that plugs into the board. Press and hold the little catch on it then pull it out of the socket on the board. Put it back in firmly. Reboot and see what happens.

Go and press F2 then find Load Default or something similar as each BIOS is different.
If it then loads, change the cmos battery.

If there is a diskette in the diskette drive remove it. It's a bad diskette.
If no diskette in the drive the drive may be bad. Till you can replace it disable the diskette drive in BIOS.
access bios by F2 at boot up and disable the Diskette drive (Floppy drive)

open settings for webcam/video device/ choose integrated/hope it helps.

locate the cmos/bios jumper below your memory ddr2 modules (J2) you need to be sure to make contact trought this jumper pe.-with a screwdriver, put back your memory modules and turn on your laptop, this process will clear your cmos/bios memory, you will need to setup your dates.

When the IBM Setup Utility program prompt is displayed, quickly press F1.
The prompt is displayed for only a short time.
if you dont see the prompt, tap F1 repeatedly as the computer starts. If it says "starting windows" you've let it go too far and will have to restart again and repeat the process to get into the bios
REGARDS..

if you still have the cd drivers from lennovo just put it on your cd rom and boot from it. bios flash will resotore 2 default

this may or may not help, try taking out the cmos battery out (looks like a watch battery) and leave for a few minutes then replace, this will reset the bios.
