    My 8930 will not post, enter bios or boot to Windows. When I try to enter Bios all I get when I press F2 is Please Wait, same results for F12 to bring up boot menu. I removed the hard drives to see if that was the culpret and still same results. I have called Acer and no help from them their answer is to send it in.

    Before I send it in I would like to know if anybody has any idea on how to clear the CMOS without a complete dismantling to get to the Battery for removal.

    Thanks

    If it didn't go bad from a bad flash chances are bad RAM or processor.

    No it was not from a bad flash, I have been running the latest bios since it came out.
