Hi all, I´m new to the forum, congratulations because reading the posts reveals to me that experienced guys are beside this

I have a problem with a IBM T20, I did the interface with the two zeners and resistors and used IBMPass 2.1 lite to read it, here you have the output:

0x330 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 26 12 1f 26 17 12 00 a6 . . . . . . . . & .. & . . .|

I was planning to upload an IBM pass lite screenshot, but really i can´t find how to do it. Crying or Very sad

I will really appreciate your help on this


Cheers

Hi Everyone.

New to the forum and been looking at a way to get rid of my BIOS password after replacing my backup pill battery on my TP T20. Since then i have not been able to log into windows. Before the BIOS passward prompt it says

ERROR

0271: Check date and time settings?

ive stripped the computer down but cant find the AMTEL chip? Can anyone tell me where it is exactly please.

Thanks!

Hi,

Undo everything..
There's a 14 pin 24RF08 placed under the second SODIMM mem stick (if any in place) and it can be accessed by just removing the RAM cover.
