    So, I own an Agility 3 SSD and OCZ has released a FW (2.15) update for their SF2281 based drives that alleges to have fixed the BSOD and drive freezing issues that have plagued their '3' series drives. Part of the instruction for updating the FW recommends that I clear the CMOS. Short of taking apart my notebook, is there anyway I can clear the CMOS without voiding my warranty?

    Press the power button down for 30 seconds while it's off. There should also be a reset button on the bottom of your notebook.

    In the BIOS setup menu (hit F2 as soon as you power on), reset to user defaults.
