The computer hasn't ran in months before I tried using it.. Can't copy the
CMOS info because I can't even get far enough to. I don't think it uses a
battery. a lot of motherboards use a capacitor, so what I think I'm gonna
have to do is discharge every damn capacitor on the board until it's
comopletely juiceless. (btw- to discharge a capacitor just short the 2 leads
witha screwdriver). I'll have to pull the whole thing apart. I was just
hoping one of you had a CMOS zapper laying around, but I couldn't use it
anyways. oh well...
