Emachines EM350 BIOS reset

Hi all, I have an emachines E350 netbook and need to reset the BIOS, have had to reinstall Windows using another machine, it's not booting from the HD and there is a password on the BIOS.

Anyone know the easiest way to remove the password/reset the BIOS on this one? It looks like battery is soldered to the board and I can't see any jumpers or likely solder points to short.

Many thanks.

thanks, Happy New Year to you too, i had seen this somewhere I think, the EM350 looks to be different to the EM250 though, there are no solder points to short under either the wireless card or the RAM.

 

At the bottom of the laptop there is a sticker with model/product number , you must give it to us :wave

it's a NAV51, thanks

 

I just managed to crack this one, found the solder points (marked CMOS, lol) under the RAM cover and up a bit, shorted them with a screwdriver while booting and it worked first time.

 

I am glad it sorted out my friend :tas
