Hello everyone,

 

I've recently gotten an old computer from the university I study at to mess around with. When I started it up I got an error stating "Media test failure, check cable". I thought this had to do with the university removing windows from the SSD, which was understandable. After opening the case, I removed the CMOS battery and put it back in and started to get a 161-Real-Time Clock Power Loss error on my screen instead, which made me replace the battery with a new one. Now with the new one, I still get the same error. 

 

With access to the BIOS I would be able to do more however, I cannot get into the BIOS. I have tried spamming every key while the computer starts up, to no avail. 

 

Additionally, the "161-Real-Time Clock Power Loss" error screen has on the bottom "F1: Boot", but every time I press F1, nothing happens.

 

Can someone help me out on what I could do?
