Re: HannStar J MV-4 (jumper clearcmos/reset bios)...
The
location of the jumpers or dipswitches may vary; however, here are some locations of the jumpers / dipswitches.
- On the edge of the motherboard - Most jumpers
are located on the side of the motherboard for easy accessibility,
verify by looking at all visible edges of the motherboard.
- By the CMOS battery - Some manufactures will place the jumper to clear the CMOS / BIOS password by the actual CMOS battery.
- By the processor - Some manufactures will
place the jumpers by the processor of the computer. However, note that
in some cases these jumpers will be to change the processor and not the
password.
- Under the keyboard or bottom of laptop - If you are working on a laptop computer
the location of the dipswitch (almost never a jumper) can be under the
keyboard or on the bottom of the laptop in a compartment such as the
memory compartment.
- Other visible location - While it is
possible that the jumpers / dipswitches may not be in a visible
location, most manufactures try to make things easier by placing the
jumpers / dipswitches in another visible location.
- Jumpers may also be found underneath or allongside the memory modules.
I hope this helps but suggest that the manufacturers web site or your instruction manual, may have the answer.
