m11x-r2 shot board?

[walther]

I recently started getting boot loops right after POST on my m11x-r2. I haven't changed any hardware since the day I got it. I've had Ubuntu installed for a while so I severely doubt a virus could have caused this. Here's what I've tested: Ran the Pre-boot System Assessment. No errors. Pulled the battery and plugged the laptop into the wall. Removed the SSD and tried it in my m17x. Boots without issue. Tried the SSD from my m17x. Tried booting without a drive, no 'No boot device detected' message. Removed the ram and tried both sticks in my m17x, as well as a 2gb stick I'm not using in the m11x. One of the RAM sticks produced a beep code(two beeps) when I tested each one in my m11x(including both DIMM slots). Reset BIOS settings to default. This is the first hardware problem I've had after three years. I cannot find any information on resetting the CMOS or where the battery is for it. I'm looking for any help, even if its a long shot, and I'm perfectly capable of disassembling the laptop past the cover, but I have not done so yet. EDIT: Fixed it. There was an issue with my BIOS, but I was able to blind flash an older version.
