Cf-53 boot

#1 Post by sakkara »

Hi
Just picked up a cf-53
Has a harddrive installed and a 4 gb stick of ram in slot 1

Can't get it to boot just sits on a completely black screen
Is there any key combination I can push to get into the bios

And if so what is the genetic bios password thanks

Are the fans turning or making any noise? any hard drive or media in the disk drive? have to tried removing all the ram and rebooting to see if it give beeps for ram error code? Also there is no generic code for the bios.

Fan starts
Hard drive is present light shows on and off
Nothing in media bay
Will pull ram and see
Thinking maybe cmos battery ?
Will it recharge if I charge the main battery as its probably been sitting for a long time

Let it charge for a while, pull HDD. Power on and when Panasonic logo appears on screen start hitting F2 to get in bios. If no Panasonic logo appears, could be bad news. I don’t know if cmos battery will charge.
We get some rules to follow.
That and this, these and those
