This works!!! Thanks a lot. I just used a metal pin to shortcut the two feet, and actually didn't disassemble the central units, just tried to disassemble the top cover frame, loosen the two central screws, just to be able to peel to the back the black plastic. That was enough to reach the chip. I had to wait a bit before shortcutting the feet. Thanks again, I was going crazy that I had set a password I couldn't remember myself!!!
hi! so im buying one of these and i been looking at videos of them. the thing you said "might be a sound card" is actually a data modem. like a cellular modem. theres an IMEI listed on it. theres a slot behind the battery where you can install a SIM card! a sound card doesnt need antennas, silly
Yea, saying that the modem was a sound card is a mistake that will keep me up for nights lol. I figured out later when I was configuring the bios that it was indeed a modem. Well, you learn something new everyday. Thank you for correcting me!
I'm getting one of these shipped in soon. If I were to install Linux to the main hard drive, would I need to remove the supervisor password to boot that? I don't care about switching the boot order or booting from USB, I only need to boot from Linux on the main drive which is already first in the boot order.
I think you should still try and remove the supervisor password, you will be able to downgrade or update bios. But if you don't care, you can still boot from any hard drive, just press F11 (I think) and boot into the hard drive. you should be good. You technically don't need to but I always recommend doing it.
@@asaudrey as cool as you are you should be recommending he doesn't remove the supervisor password, and instead flashes custom BIOS firmware onto the machine instead 😎you can do it with the most popular and fortunately cheapest chip ever, the ch341a and a second machine. Do it and make a video on it soldier
