Need help on problem concerning bios password and sound problem. MOBO came from BT company (BRITISH TELECOM logo) personalized bios logo instead of PANASONIC.
The BIOS password is going to be impossible to get past unfortunatly. There is NO ONE (not even Rugged Depot) that has successfully removed these passwords :(

I'm glad it's mostly working! :)

Here is a pic of it working. Sorted out the power board missing, Heartland has it. Only sound problem.. but on the works to solve it, maybe some cable not making contact. Gonna re-check connections.

Thanks..

Carlos,

I have resized the images for you. Next time please resize them to 800 x 600 or smaller before posting. High def images are nice but it makes it IMPOSSIBLE to read the forum.

Thanks

Well the BIOS password is a big problem for sure. No way around it at all. A few of us have tried many programs but no luck at all...sorry. The sound could be a driver problem...maybe. In my BIOS there is nothing to disable the sound unless I missed it.

I heard through the grapevine that when you send the unit to Heartland for a BIOS password removal that they just replace the motherboard... I don't think there is a way around it whatsoever for ANYONE!
