CMOS refers to the battery-powered semiconductor chip located on computer's system board. Notebooks store
low-level settings like the system time and hardware settings in CMOS. Sometimes you must clear CMOS, which
requires removing and reinserting the 3 V RTC battery for a short time (a few minutes before reinserting), in
addition to removing the AC adapter and battery.
NOTE: Clearing the CMOS should only be performed for troubleshooting purposes. There is no reason to clear
CMOS if the computer is working properly.
You must remove the notebook service door to access the CMOS battery. If the computer has a replaceable RTC
battery, see the RTC battery replacement section for the battery removal or replacement.

9. Soft reset (Default Settings)

If your computer has issues booting, has errors during boot, has issues after you add hardware, or has other
abnormal system behaviors that you cannot resolve through any other methods (for example, hard reset), it
may be necessary to reset the system BIOS to default settings.
NOTE: Some company policies prohibit updates or changes. Check whether the computer has custom BIOS
settings before taking action.
To load BIOS to default settings: Reboot the computer, and then press f10 > Main > Restore defaults. For more
information, see http://support.hp.com, and the search for BIOS Setup Utility Information and Menu Options.

10. Reseat cables and connections

Many problems are caused by improper connections or loose connections because of abnormal movement and
vibration.
NOTE: Before disassembling the computer to reseat cables and connections, always disconnect power and
remove the battery, or disconnect a nonremovable battery.
