8/10/2023 0 Comments Diskwarrior 4.4 boot![]() Yes I removed all the RAM including the RAM under the keyboard. I don't post help requests very often this one just has me both baffled and annoyed. ![]() I have been all over the web for the last week or so looking. I have already been at the exact document you shared with me. I am assuming this is some kind of bug in their latest BIOS for this unit the A17 as A16 never had any issues at all.Īnyone have any ideas or ran into this before and if so how did you resolve it?Īny ideas are appreciated, I have been trying for a week now and nothing. This unit has never had 1 single issue.ever. This is supposed to one one of their creme of the crop units for its year and this blows me away. I am very experienced with Dell (I am a Dell DCSE) and I can't find any information on it anyplace which I find VERY SURPRISING. Does anyone know how to FORCE the BIOS back to defaults, a key you can hold down while powering on the unit. ![]() I have tried booting it on AC power alone after draining all power from the unit and still nothing.ĭoes anyone know a key holding sequence on boot or inside the unit someplace there is a jumper to drain the BIOS like you would have on Desktop or even some laptops? I find it very frustrating that they would so poorly deign this unit to have no fail safe to reset BIOS defaults back to original like all other units built in the last 30 years. This unit apparently uses NVRAM for the BIOS so why they even have a coin cell battery when the BIOS doesn't need power to save is a mystery to me. I can find no articles or anything that tells me how I can FORCE a reset of the BIOS back to defaults if you can't get into the BIOS. I am pretty sure it failed to save to BIOS correctly the last time I was in the BIOS. Tried just removing HALF the RAM to again try to trigger the amount of system ram has changed error and again no luck I removed ALL HARDWARE from the laptop including the RAM to generate a BIOS error but it doesn't even trigger a BIOS error. I have tried removing the main battery AND the Coin battery and even tried leaving it that way for over 48 hours but the BIOS is still not on defaults. If I hit F12 for one time boot menu it says Preparing for one time Boot but again never goes past that. If I press F2 to go into BIOS it will go to "Preparing to enter Setup" but never does. The bar builds all the way but it will not go past that part. I went into BIOS to check a setting and I believe I told it to not boot from the Network (removed the option to boot from NIC) then I save and rebooted and now it will not go past the POST screen. I have a Dell Precision M4600 Laptop and I updated the BIOS from A16 to A17.Īfter the BIOS updated it booted fine a few times.
