It should not cause a hardware or permanent damage to a main board when some
BIOS settings were changed from default to over clocking or non-standard status.
We suggest the following three troubleshooting methods to discharge CMOS data
and recover the hardware default status. It will make the main board working
again and please don't bother returning the main board to where you bought it or
go through an RMA process.
- Switch off the power supply unit and then switch it on again after one
minute. If there isn't a switch on it, pull off the power cord for one minute
and then pull it back. Press the "Insert" key on the keyboard and don't loosen
it, meanwhile, press the power-on button to boot up system. If it works,
loosen the "Insert" key and hit "Del" key to enter the BIOS setup page to do
correct settings. If still can't help, repeat step 1 three times or try step
2.
- Switch off the power supply unit or pull off the power cord, and then open
the chassis. There is a CCMOS jumper near the battery. Change the jumper
position from default 1-2 (Figure.1) to 2-3 (Figure.2) for one minute to
discharge the CMOS data, and then put it back to default 1-2 (Figure.1). Close
the chassis and switch on the power supply unit or pull in the power cord.
Press the power-on button to boot up system. If it works, hit "Del" key to
enter the BIOS setup page to do correct settings. If still can't help, try
step 3.
The demo board is BD7-II
- The same procedure as step 2, meanwhile, pull up ATX power connectors from
main board and take away main board battery during CMOS discharging.
