I my B570 laptop a door stopper now?

Hi, hopefully somebody will be able to help me.
I bought a used laptop B570 and the Bios is password protected. The last user forgot his password. Right now the computer does not boot as it does not recognize the Wi-Fi card and halts there. Also, it won't boot with the battery inserted. If I try to insert the battery while it is on, the laptop will beep once and turn off. I think it has to do with the BIOS not recognizing the battery anymore. So I tried to reinstall the BIOS, but am getting an error that the battery must be inserted.
I guess it is really 2 questions:
1) How to reinstall the BIOS without the battery
2) how to remove/clear the password ( I read somewhere that it was impossible, and only a MB replacement would do the trick )
Other notes:
I removed the Wi-Fi card, and was able to boot with the CDROM to a simulated Windows XP (using Hiren's Tools)
The last person removed the hard drive for security reason

Hi Xpender666, welcome to the forum,
you'll need to get the original owner to remember the password; the forum rules stricktly prohibit discussion on this subject.

By all means start a new thread on the other problems mentioned, without discussion of passwords, as I have to lock this one.
Thanks for understanding.

B570 Laptop - No display, POST or LED

Hi,
I have a 1 year old B570 laptop which will not boot. It will not show a display, power on, POST boot and the LEDs do not light up.
The problem has been on-going for a while and the laptop would occassionally refuse to boot. You would have to remove the battery and then it would start up. When this happened the laptop would appear to power on but it would not POST or display anything, However, the unit now seems to be dead.
I have tried removing the battery, charging the laptop and holding the power button in for ten seconds, but I still cannot find any sign of life. This leads me to think that it may be an issue with the motherboard?
Can anybody help?
Thanks,
Martin.

I got a usb charger for my 4th gen Ipod touch that at first allowed my to charge and transfer music from my laptop to the Ipod now nothing happens when I plug the usb cord and Ipod into my laptop. Its mac so it is an apple system. I am wondering how I can fix this problem I am not very good with techy stuff so this is very confusing how it was working and it just stopped.

Hi johnsmiff99,
That is never fun when your iPod touch does not show up on your Mac. Take a look at the article below to walk you through on getting it to show back up on your iTunes. It is very easy to read so you wont feel overwhelmed with to much techy jargon. Let me know if you get this worked out.

The strap of my bag broke when my laptop was in it, now it is making a buzzing noise all the time and sometimes get a bit warm. I have warranty with protection plan, how do I fix it?

Take it in and have it assessed. They do not have to know about the bag incident unless the explicitly ask for the specific details (like when you are being questioned by a TSA screener, LEO, etc.). As far as you know, the noise started up and it is getting warm. With luck it is just an unbalanced fan that needs replacement.

Had problem with laptop so reinstalled it now itunes will not sync on both laptops, it did before.

Had problem with laptop so reinstalled it now itunes will not sync on both laptops, it did before to my iphone5 says cannot sync to 2 libraries until I reinstalled it did.

iDevices can only be synched with one library. However, you can sync successfully with more than one computer if each has a copy of the same logical library - the identifier that iTunes uses to determine which library is synced an iDevice is recorded within the iTunes database (the iTunes Library.itl file). The best approach is to replicate your complete library (database, media, artwork, associated files) from one PC to the other. When you reinstalled iTunes on your laptop it will, by default, have created a new library with a distinct id from that of your other machine. Even if you copied all your media from one to the other, iTunes will still see the libraries as distinct with respect to syncing iDevices.
If you have configured iTunes to organize your media and to copy files to the iTunes Media folder, then the complete library will be contained within (by default) C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes, with a structure of subfolders and key files like this:
If this is the case, you can (with iTunes not running on either machine):
Copy this iTunes folder from laptop 2 to laptop 1 (the one that's had iTunes reinstalled) - depending on the size of your library you can do this over a network, using a thumb drive, or an external (USB) hard driveNote this this assumes no media on laptop 1 that's not also on laptop 2 - if this isn't the case, there's a slightly different process to follow to ensure that this media is preserved and can be added to the "common" library
Once the copy is complete, make sure that iTunes is using the correct library database by holding down SHIFT as you start iTunes. When you see this prompt:
select Choose Library..., navigate to the iTunes folder you just copied, select the iTunes Library.itl file you'll find there, and click Open.
For future reference, you can use turingtest2's user tip on Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy for a suitable method to backup your library to an external drive - you can then, with care, use this to keep the copies of your common library in sync across your laptops.

You have to enter the Apple ID and password. You are running into the Activation Lock

Depending on which email client software you use
the files should be in 'your home folder' library, esp.
if you use Mail application.... ~/Library/Mail
Since you don't specify what mail application,
that would most be associated with the file.
I notice there are some items to the right of your post
where it says "more like this' so that may be worth a
look to see if similar issues were answered. Also, the
Help viewer in your system is a searchable database.
Seems that google also brings up fair information, too.
Do you have a complete bootable clone of your entire
Mac system on an externally enclosed hard disk drive?
Good luck & happy computing!

Thanks for responding but the link seems to be relevant to Windows. Is there a similar method for Android phones?

If you're not going to use the drive on a Windows machine, you should use Disk Utility (Applications>Utilities folder) to erase the drive and format it as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" with a single GUID partition (default):

I installed Firefox on laptop under Admin acct--now I can't access it from std user account

I installed Firefox on a laptop under Admin acct--now I can't access it from std user account. If I installed Firefox onto the laptop under the Admin account, why didn't it put a desktop icon on the std user account also? I don't recall ever having this problem on an any other computer I've had. I have already tried looking under the program files folders for a Mozilla folder while logged into the std user account-- there is no Mozilla folder to be found. Also, when I try to install Firefox on the Std user account, the parental controls keeps me from doing it. I have went in and added the Firefox install web link as an allowable website under the parental controls, but it does not help. Please help me figure out how to get Firefox installed on my std user account.

Check the date and time in the clock on your computer: (double) click the clock icon on the Windows Taskbar.
Check out why the site is untrusted and click "Technical Details to expand this section.<br>If the certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided (sec_error_unknown_issuer) then see if you can install this intermediate certificate from another source.
You can retrieve the certificate and check details like who issued certificates and expiration dates of certificates.
*Click the link at the bottom of the error page: "I Understand the Risks"
Let Firefox retrieve the certificate: "Add Exception" -> "Get Certificate".
*Click the "View..." button and inspect the certificate and check who is the issuer of the certificate.
You can see more Details like intermediate certificates that are used in the Details pane.
If <b>"I Understand the Risks"</b> is missing then this page may be opened in an (i)frame and in that case try the right-click context menu and use "This Frame: Open Frame in New Tab".
*Note that some firewalls monitor (secure) connections and that programs like Sendori or FiddlerRoot can intercept connections and send their own certificate instead of the website's certificate.
*Note that it is not recommended to add a permanent exception in cases like this, so only use it to inspect the certificate.
