How to reset my BIOS settings on TG01-2000i?

[babawuchik]

Hello,

After making changes in the BIOS under the Security tab to hide certain hardware components, my system is no longer able to boot. I would like to reset the BIOS settings to their default state.

Upon inspection, I found a jumper labeled 1–6, with pins 1–3 and 2–4 currently connected. Could someone please confirm the correct jumper configuration or procedure to perform a full BIOS/CMOS reset for this motherboard?

I have already removed the CMOS battery, but that did not reset the BIOS. On startup, I’m now getting three long beeps followed by three short beeps.

Thank you for your assistance.

Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue

If you've made changes in the BIOS that are preventing your system from booting, a BIOS/CMOS reset can help return the settings to their factory defaults. Here's how you can perform a full BIOS/CMOS reset using the jumper method:

Power Off and Unplug: Shut down your computer properly. Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet to ensure there is no electricity flowing to the system.

Discharge Residual Power: Press the power button for a few seconds to drain any residual power from the system.

Access the Motherboard: Remove the access panel of your computer to access the motherboard safely.

Locate the CMOS Jumper: Find the CMOS/CLR jumper on the motherboard. This is often labeled as CLR_CMOS/PASS or PSSWD. The jumper is typically blue to make it easily identifiable.

Reconfigure the Jumper:

• Remove the jumper from its current pins (common setup might involve pin positions like 1-2 or 2-3).
• Place the jumper over the reset pins. For some systems, this might involve moving it from pins 1-2 to 2-3, but be sure to follow any specific instruction that matches your motherboard's setup, as it can differ between models.

Reset the CMOS/BIOS: Leave the jumper in the reset position for about 10 seconds.

Restore Jumper to Default: Move the jumper back to its original position.

Reassemble and Power On: Replace the access panel. Reattach all external equipment, plug in the computer, and power it on. This should reset the BIOS and allow you to boot normally with default settings.

Configure Initial Settings: On boot, enter the BIOS setup to reconfigure any necessary settings, like date and time.

I hope this helps.
