Thanks everyone for your replies. I've tried the cmos jumper, replacing the cmos battery, unplugging and replugging everything, cleaned out the dust and unfortunately I can't get into my bios and nothing seems to work. Can it be possible that the CPU or motherboard died when my computer was off? My roommate used my computer two weeks ago and she said everything was fine. =P
Weird thing is that when I unplug the drive to the CDRW, I'm allowed to operate the open and close button. But when the drive is connected to the motherboard, the CDRW won't open when I press the open button. Thanks again everyone. Much appreciate for your reponses. -Annie --- In [email protected], "parisiengarcon" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > --- In [email protected], "stars9fan120" > <stars9fan120@> wrote: > > > > I hope someone can help me.
