Do you think you could try this method?

Someone posted this earlier in this thread but no one seems to have verified that it works.

I'll give this method a try. At this point its looking pretty hopeless at this point. I may have to get a used mobo to replace.

So I de-soldered the battery from the motherboard. Left it over night from sat to sun. The laptop still doesn't boot, it does its 2 sec boot loop that I described earlier.

What setting did you change exactly?

I initially changed a setting which caused the screen to go blank. Then in my wisdom I attempted to undo the change blind. I used the video walk through to count the key strokes but my count was off by 1 on one of the steps. I ended up hitting disable on some PCI express refresh?timer? setting. I looked up exactly where I messed up, can't remember exactly now. I can figure it out again if it would help.

It boots for two seconds then shuts down and then repeats. I changed a wrong setting and now that what it does. That's why I need to remove the battery. This weekend I'll get the battery removed and will report back later.

Hi, just wondering if desoldering the battery cleared the BIOS settings? I'm in the same situation you were in. Thanks!

Edit: OK do I dug deep into this thread and found a couple people desoldering the CMOS battery but never replying back, I'll take it as a good sign and get at this when I get home tonight.

Guys, I need help, like bad. I changed a setting and my y410p will just power on to a black screen now. I tried to recover again by using the mash F2 + 8 right + 4 down + 4 enter trick and that does not work this time.

I tried to put my stock BIOS on a USB stick and hold down Fn + B while powering up and that doesn't do anything either.

Anyone know how to recover from a bad settings? I desoldered what looked like the CMOS battery (it's right underneath the palm rest and soldered onto the motherboard and is flat, round and labeled with + and - on two prongs) and I'm just letting it sit there for a while, I hope that clears the settings.
