Well I have a Sony Vaio laptop model PCG-GR370 that I bought about 2yrs. ago and about a month ago it crashed on me and started asking me for the bios password.I dont know the password and the person who sold it to me does not know it either.So I know a little bit of electronics and I opened the laptop to drain the CMOS battery(and yes everything was unplugged) but that didn't work and I've tried several passwords that I found online but they didn't work either.So I ask you guys what else can I do to over come this problem?Is there jumpers on this laptop?Cause if there is I can't find them.Or is there another battery or some type of bios reset button?

No access panel for that. That is located on the motherboard. You will have to take of the keyboard to get access to it.

How to Change/Reset a BIOS password Posted on 30 December 2008
Tags: Tech News, Tutorials If you are a normal computer user who has forgot his BIOS password and you are unable to access to your BIOS, then you need a simple way to change your BIOS. Its not that hard because you just need a simple trick to reset your BIOS password.
Open your CPU cabinet after switching OFF the power and then try to locate the CPU battery which can be found very easily. Once you locate your battery you need to remove it once and restart your PC without the battery.

You need to shut down your PC again and now add back the battery which will enable you the time saving feature and also reset your BIOS password.

I want to install internal wlan in my sony pcg-gr380. is it possible? If so how and what product?

I'd give up on that idea. Modern laptops are a nightmare to dissemble, and even if you manage it, the motherboard itself may not have a spare slot for a WLAN card. Buy a USB based WLAN device instead .. much easier.
