If you go into BIOS as you exit there is an option to restore all to default. If the laptop does not boot or POST the only way to do it is to disassemble and remove the main battery. If you let it sit for a couple weeks and all power drains out it will also reset BIOS. The laptop uses the main battery for CMOS/RTC power. There is no button or other external switch to use for that.

I can not open BIOS, because there is no image, but the laptop will turn on. Therefore, the only way to reset the BIOS is to remove the battery? Then if I turn on the laptop without charging and leave it to discharge, then the BIOS will reset?

Yes but its not likely it is going to fix your problem. Worth a try I guess. Remove the battery, let it sit for a couple hours and try to start it.
