You may need to dismantle the keyboard and palmrest to access the 24rf08 8 pin eeprom and CMOS batt.
If it's only power-on password then removing the small LiIon cell for 2 seconds should be enough, otherwise the eeprom must be read to reveal the SVP.
Get the T40 Hardware maintenance manual to see how to do that from here:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-39298.html
Also read the tutorial from here
http://www.allservice.ro/forum/viewtopic.php?t=47&start=0
..and everything you might find usefull. For example, click on the forum search -upper-right corner- and type "T40" in the search field, etc. |
