Bios locked forgot password

To reset the BIOS password read the information from this link.

In case of your MSI laptop the easiest method would be using software from Hiren's Boot CD as it's pretty hard to open it up and reach for the CMOS battery or the jumper and I wouldn't recommend doing it especially if it's under warranty.

I cant install my bluetooth in msi u100

Not all MSI Winds were sold with bluetooth. If bluetooth doesn't switch via fn + f11 then the hardware isn't present even if the software is installed.

I have a msi u100 series netbook.my problem am having is with the bios password i remove the battery and wait a minute but the password still remains does this module have a jumper?

This information is intended for experienced users. It is not intended for basic users, hackers, or computer thieves. Please do not try any of following procedures if you are not familiar with computer hardware. I'll not be responsible for the use or misuse of this information, including personal injury, loss of data or hardware damage. So use it at your own risk.

A. By Using the Motherboard Jumper:

In most motherboards CMOS battery is soldered, which makes it difficult to remove the battery. In this case we use another method.

Almost all motherboards contain a jumper that can clear all CMOS settings along with the BIOS password. The location of this jumper varies depending upon the motherboard brand. You should read your motherboard manual to check its location. If you don't have the manual then look for the jumpers near the CMOS battery. Most of the manufacturer label the jumper as CLR, CLEAR, CLEAR CMOS, etc.

When you find the jumper, look carefully. There will be 3 pins and the jumper will be joining the center pin to either left or right pin. What you need to do, is remove the jumper and join the center pin to the opposite pin. e.g. if the jumper joins center pin to left pin, then remove it and join center pin to right pin. Now wait for a few seconds and then again remove the jumper and join the center pin to left pin.

Make sure to turn the PC off before opening the cabinet and resetting the jumper.



B. By Using Software:


I have found that BIOS/CMOS Password Recovery Tool is the most effective.:
BIOS/CMOS Password Recovery Tool is a program that works instantly to remove any lost or forgotten BIOS/CMOS password. Simply boot your PC to DOS and execute the program, and get access to forgotten BIOS/CMOS passwords in just seconds

My msi u100 mini laptop won't reboot

Hello..

When you encounter this kind of problem you need to check directly to the HDD. This is an HDD problem which the cable are not good. Try to change the SATA or IDE cable. Or you may reset the CMOS jumper you can see the CMOS jumper near the CMOS battery. Good luck!

U100 msi wind netbook, webcam problems

You should be able to start the device with a default windows driver. Open windows explorer. Look at the left FOLDER pane. Under My Computer you should see USB Video device. Select it to start the webcam with default drivers. This confirms the device as working. Now, loading the correct drivers will give proper resolutions and other device-specific features of the device.
