Hello
reset the CMOS
1) Turned off the computer
2) Removed Battery and disconnected power cord.
3) Waited, pensively, for 5minutes (read several places to wait for 20 minutes; I didn't)
4) Plugged the power cord back in (Do not reinsert the battery)
5) Holding down the Insert/Scroll button, hold the power button down for 20-30 seconds. Nothing happened until I released the power button. When I released the power button (still holding the Insert/Scroll button depressed), the computer came up and Windows booted. Could not, at that point, get ESC pressed; wouldn't let me into the BIOS.
6) Restarted and prayed, came up normally; opened the BIOS by hitting ESC at the proper time, reset to defaults (just to be sure).
