Asus X50n Laptop CMOS

[fastrack1966]

I am working on the above laptop and the BIOS/F2 is protected with a
password. I have tried removing the AC lead/battery and holding the
power button down to no avail. I have removed the panels underneath,
HDD, DVD, RAM and can see no CMOS batt nor reset pins.Does anyone know
where the batt is? Or the reset jumpers if the X50n has any?Tried Asus
site, loads of d/loads but not a general user guide from what I can
see...........

Ask the owner for the password

Try updating the BIOS and see if that wipes the BIOS password from the
EEPROM. Some older laptops had that weakness.
