12/18/2013 - Practicum Blog

 photo IMAG0769.jpgToday was my last day with cfsbc so I couldn't really take a big order or anything, instead Robert had me collect around 35 Toshiba A6s and unlock the BIOS password on them. If you flip over the laptop and remove the RAM cover, you will see a piece of black plastic covering the board. Once you have peeled it back you will see by the pins some writing that says "CMOS CLR1" I use paper clip and touch the two capacitors with both ends to short circuit the password. Once you boot up you will be prompt saying that the password has been reset and you will now be able to access the BIOS.

After lunch I had all the laptops passwords reset so since I had nothing else to do I started to swap the hard drives and put 2GB of RAM into them and was going to start a XP install before I left but I ran out of time, I had to give my order to William to finish for me since I'm done today.
Overall cfsbc was the perfect place for me to go in my opinion because I feel like I'm walking away with a lot more knowledge and confidence then ever before.


I'm really fortunate to for Robert and Marry Em to accept me and give me this chance to develop more skills, and making me a better technician. Thank you :)
