There are several ways to reset the BIOS settings on the ASUS laptop. Let's look at some of them.
Disconnect the gadget from the mains. Having folded and turned the device, find on its back side the inscription "CMOS". Next to it is a small hole. Insert a thin sharp object (a toothpick, a needle) into it and press down a little, hold it for about 10 seconds.
Another way is to remove the battery,which powers the CMOS memory when the device is turned off. In some models there is no technological hole, which was used in the first case. Therefore, use a cross-head screwdriver to unscrew all available screws. Then gently lift the lid. For convenience, you can disconnect several loops. Next, find the battery on the motherboard (it looks like a flat washer), and remove it with a flat screwdriver. In most cases, a few hours of idle time with the battery removed, but it is better to leave the laptop in this state for a day. Then insert the battery back, carefully collect the gadget and turn it on.
Having disassembled the laptop you can do withoutpulling out the battery. It will be necessary to rearrange a special jumper (jumper), located next to the battery, on the motherboard. Usually looks like a small blue cap. In the case of two contacts, just close them, and if there are 3-4 of them, move it from the existing position to another for a few seconds (this is better explained in the user manual for the motherboard). In some models of ASUS laptops there are special reset buttons, on which "CMOS" is written.
