It is for Toshiba 210 model by the when I enter intlo the boot screen by pressing f2 it asks for a password which I don't know what should I do now.

 

[Maheshvenkata]

But to do that the complete laptop should be dismantled as the c-mos battery is behind the keyboard

 

[Maheshvenkata]

What should I do now as dismantling the whole laptop may cause lots of issues is there any other alternative way to over come this

 

[Maheshvenkata]

I have already tried it but it isn't that helpful to me is there any way to dry the c-mos battery other than removing it

 

[Hellfire13]

m afraid not...

 

[Maheshvenkata]

Oops!!!! So there isn't any other way to dry the battery complete other than removing it so what do I need to do now......

 

[Hellfire13]

my best advice for u is....go to a professional store...this aint gonna cost u a fortune...thy ll probably chrg 500bucks max...and do watever is required...

 

[Maheshvenkata]

I may do that but the problem is don't have a copy of ownership as it is a used product I don't have a ownership proof to show them

 

[Hellfire13]

go to a local store...thy dont ask for ownership...
but, did u buy this legit??? hope its not stolen or something...

 

[Maheshvenkata]

He he he!!!!! Please don't think like that it is my own laptop no offense like it is a stolen one please don't think like that

 

[Hellfire13]

ok thn...go to any local repair store...thy ll do it...
nothing personal u knw...its just against forum rules...

 

[Maheshvenkata]

Yes yes I do know the forum rule just wanna tell me that it was my own

 

[Hellfire13]

[Maheshvenkata]

Thanks any way
