![]() Remember to change the boot order back to whatever you like after cracking the HD. once up and running on generic drivers run the crack program. there will be many devices that will not be available, do not try to install any drivers, you are only interested in cracking the hd…. I then used a windows 98 install disk and a 5 gig usb memory stick and installed windows 98 on it… then I put the original hard drive in the labtop and changed the boot sequence to the usb drive and booted windows 98…. When I did it I used another hard drive in the labtop that had xp installed in it. If you do this hack and someone has enabled the hard drive password you will have to search and download the hack for it. Make sure that when you disassemble the screen that the screws are under the little rubber feet with the exception of the long ones at the center of the screen. Make sure to keep the location of the bios battery hoopup it is a pain in the butt to forget that because then your settings you set in the bios will not be saved. Make sure to remove the monitor screen first… prying up on the latitude bar right above the keyboard, there is a prypoint to the far right. Some notes about disassembly and reassembly: Congrats you have now hacked your labtop. The manufacturing mode does not interfere with any working of the labtop. A screen will then appear that says manufacturing mode level 1 etc etc… you have now cleared your bios passwords… you will not be able to reset the bios passwords, however it is possible to set the hard drive password through the bios so I dont think that it is a issue. wait 2 seconds and release the pins, and then reshort them. Do not worry the labtop will seem to shut off…. What you need to do is turn on the labtop, short these pins. In this position the correct pins are the third from the left on the bottom and top. Orient the labtop so that the bios chip is in front of you and the small dot is to your lower left. Then get a small piece of insulated wire, paperclip, tweesers, etc. You must partially reassemble the labtop with the keyboard, screen, ac power, and both processor and video heatsinks with cooling fan ( you can just temporarly sit these components ontop of the motheroard to prevent the board from shutting down from heat). Looking at this chip where the dot is is pin 1. you will see it next to a larger chip with many legs. The chip is located under the pcmcia port… there is a black plastic sticker of sorts that you must remove and the chip is a small 8 legged chip labeled ump1…. There is a eeprom chip that controls the stored passwords on this labtop… it required disassembly of the labtop… when I did this i entirely removed the motherboard from the labtop and placed only the esential components on a table. The solution that you have been looking for ![]()
