The manufacturing mode does not interfere with any working of the labtop. You will not be able to reset the bios passwords, however it is possible to set the hard drive password through the bios so I dont think that it is a issue. You have now cleared your bios passwords. A screen will then appear that says manufacturing mode level 1 etc etc. Wait 2 seconds and release the pins, and then reshort them. Do not worry the labtop will seem to shut off. What you need to do is turn on the labtop, short these pins. In this position the correct pins are the third from the left on the bottom and top. Orient the labtop so that the bios chip is in front of you and the small dot is to your lower left. Then get a small piece of insulated wire, paperclip, tweesers, etc. You must partially reassemble the labtop with the keyboard, screen, ac power, and both processor and video heatsinks with cooling fan ( you can just temporarly sit these components ontop of the motheroard to prevent the board from shutting down from heat). Looking at this chip where the dot is is pin 1. You will see it next to a larger chip with many legs. There is a black plastic sticker of sorts that you must remove and the chip is a small 8 legged chip labeled ump1. ![]() The chip is located under the pcmcia port. ![]() When I did this i entirely removed the motherboard from the labtop and placed only the esential components on a table. The solution that you have been looking for There is a eeprom chip that controls the stored passwords on this labtop.
