alright, thanks, I was worried about shorting the CMOS battery since its non removable, I'm thinking a 10ohm resistor should stop anything from being damaged, and I think I can borrow one from a roommate Tried it, no luck, just used a breadboarding wire I had lying around, shorted the CMOS, and then held the power button, without battery or being pluged in, nothing

Well, followed the instructions exactly for the 8.01 BIOS, but ran into an issue where my USB drive isn't being detected as bootable, running windows 8.1 and cannot access the BIOS due to forgetting the password, and not sure if theres any way to reset it as I haven't found much info on pulling the CMOS battery

That really sucks, I'm thinking that the particular frame just was a faulty batch of plastic

I'm loving that screen attachment thing, what is it

Honestly, I'd avoid anything with the word "Gaming" in its name, you're probably better off getting an external microphone and some good headphones, more for your money I find, but then again, I'm using a webcam for my microsphone and I have a pair of audio-technica ATH-A700, fantastic headphones if a little on the higher end price range

Well, I'm in the embarrassing situation of having forgotten my BIOS password on a Y580, any way I can reset it, it looks to me like disconnecting the CMOS is a no go and that there's no jumpers for it, would re-flashing the BIOS work, only issue is I have the 8.01 version of the bios and cant find a download for it. Although I don't mind putting a custom BIOS on this thing

So, maybe a year about a friend of mine got a Y580, as did I, well, about a month after she got her's the plastic bits that protect the heatsink just started to crack, she takes even better care of hers then I do, and yet now her's is missing 3 of the blastic bars and the keyboard side of the lower case is lifting off, I'm not asking how to fix this, I'm asking has anyone else seen this happen before?
