System CMOS checksum bad- Default configuration used

Post by smackaholic »

Is what my toshiba netbook stops at on the DOS screen.

The next line says ....

Press F1 to resume, F2 to Setup

Pressing either key results in jack-fukking-shit. Tried pressing other keys such as F8 during boot-up. Same result.

Prolly time to scrap this POS. It is about 3.5 years old. Can't imagine it is worth paying anyone to look at it.

What say you nerds?

You are truly one of the worst pieces of shit to ever post on this board. Start giving up your paycheck for reparations now and then you can shut the fuck up about your racist blasts.

There should be a RAM slot cover on the bottom of the machine.
If you look inside, are both RAM slots occupied?

Pressing F1, F2. DELETE, Esc... any of those doesn't get you into the BIOS menu at boot time?

Not to be rude, but you're a fucking idiot.

Is there a previous date that your brain worked that you can restore to?
