Inlaws computer nightmare (yes... again) SOLVED
-
In order to solve this I removed the motherboard battery, waited ten seconds, plugged it again and started the computer... Bios language came in French but apart of that it is working... Yes, I know it... I installed a windows 7 into my father inlaw HP computer as I was kindly asked to do so. Everything went ok. Today when starting the computer a black screen with some diagnostic messages (memory amount...) appeared the important part of that display is the text:
MANAGEMENT PLATFORM (ME) IN MANUFACTURING MODE
execution of delay in post (originally it was in Spanish)
Press ESC key for the start menu (originally it was in Spanish)When the ESC key is pressed nothing happens. The only thing I can imagine of is to reset the bios to some factory values, but... would you suggest anything to solve this? What would you do? PS: please don't suggest to leave the country or escape my inlaws in case they speak about computers... :rolleyes: Thank you all!

OK, if those options are out, I suggest divorce, so they are no longer your in-laws. ;) (But on a serious note, did the battery that powers the nvram for the bios crap out?) Marc

It seems a hardware issue, if it is still under warranty you can send it for fix or replace.

I found this and this sound like a stupid error message. HP Support document - HP Support Center[^]
Yes, I saw this link before... it doesn't help at all as the keyboard gets dead... X| I simply unplugged the motherboard battery and plugged it again after 10 seconds and it worked again... :cool:

No warranty... I've removed the battery on the motherboard... mounted it again after 10 seconds and voilà! Now it works... No idea how this happened but it works so... :thumbsup:

on the older systems that is how you clear the forgotten password,so perhaps thats what it did.
Yes, but unless my father in-law did something really tricky to make the bios collapse or I still don't understand what happened here, but... working now so 0 worries.
