HI,
I wonder if anyone can help with this situation.
I have an Amilo XI 3650 with a major problem.
I made a simple BIOS option change which has now locked me out of the machine.
I changed the HYBRID display option to use NVIDIA specifically, rather than the standard Intel.
Upon saving/exiting the BIOS I then have no display (however it did boot into windows; I heard the welcome sound).
After a 5second press power off and then power on I now get <BEEEEEEP> <BEEP-BEEP> (which I understand from googling means there is a display problem).
I have nothing on the display so I cannot see to get into the BIOS and change the setting.
I have tried plugging into an external monitor via VGA and doing Fn+F10 to cycle but have had no response.
My last resort now it to try plugging into a monitor via the HDMI port (once I get a cable) and hope this works.
Obviously, something is wrong somewhere since I'm sure Fujitsu did not purposefully inplement 'please brick my laptop' as a user selectable BIOS feature.
If I had some way of clearing the CMOS hopefully this would get the standard display back.
I looked in the serviceable compartments below but can see no CMOS battery to remove.
HELP!
NB: Worse, this is not my laptop ... I was just fixing it for someone as the OS was screwed,
EDIT:
I just had a bright idea which hopefully someone with the same model can help.
I'm assuming that the if I could see the screen when the machine is doing the 3 beeps its saying something like 'Video error etc etc ... press a key to enter setup'.
If I knew the correct key stroke combination to either:
A: Reset the CMOS to factory defaults, or
B: Change the Hybrid video settins back to using the standard display
I might be able to get out of this jam.
So, my request is:
Could someone with a Xi 3650 please Do F2 to go into BIOS,
Then post me the key strokes I need to do either A or B above (pref A).
As in:
Press Right
Press Right
Press Down seven times
Press ENTER
Press ENTER ....... get the idea.
Many thanks in advance if someone can help out.
