Asus EeeBook X205TA: How do I reset my BIOS password on newer ASUS laptops?

Tue, 27 Aug 2024 11:58:48 -0700

I was playing around with the BIOS settings and somehow I fat fingered the password not once, but twice.. and now I'm locked out of the computer entirely. I was trying to figure out what the difference was between the "User" password, and the "Administrator" password - and the difference is that "User" won't allow the system to boot at all without that password.

I've tried pulling the main power from the tiny little motherboard, and this appears to make no difference with these newer laptops which don't have specific bios batteries to remove. Any suggestions?

Asus Transformer Book T100TAF: Why won't my device turn on?

Wed, 02 Apr 2025 04:40:37 -0700

So I've had this device for a while now and it just suddenly wouldn't turn on. I know it is fully charged because of the white light on the power button. I know my charger works because it works on my phone. I've tried doing the "volume down and power button for 15 seconds" thing and the "Windows button and power button for 15 seconds" thing but it didn't fix it. When I press down on the power button, the light on the power button flashes but the light next to the camera won't flash nor will the screen light up. I'm not sure what else to do and I re ally need to get on this device. Any ideas?

My device is an ASUS Transformer Book T100TAF

Asus EeeBook X205TA: Computer continuously restarts when connected to WiFi.

Fri, 26 Apr 2019 15:00:53 -0700

I can only use my computer when I have the wifi turned off. When it's turned on and I'm connected to a network, the screen goes black for a few seconds and then takes me back to the log in screen. It'll stay on for maybe three seconds top, and then go black again and repeat the process. My computer is very new since I only got it about two weeks ago and this problem first showed up this week. At first it'd just take a few attempts at logging in before it'd work but now it doesn't work at all (unless the wifi is off, of course). All I've tried is restarting it and leaving it off for a day. Any suggestions?

Asus Eee PC T101MT: How to replace the HDD

Wed, 02 Jan 2019 17:25:57 -0700

Well, I’d like to know how exactly to replace the HDD of the Asus Eee Pc T101 MT. I found a video on YT which shows a guy unscrewing every screw and beating and shaking the device, which does not seem … professional. At least, he reached the HDD but I do not really want to take the device apart to tiny bits, really. I don’t think it is necessary, either.

Asus Netbook: Can I upgrade my Asus Eee PC 1015cx RAM?

Sat, 27 Oct 2018 04:06:30 -0700

My girlfriend's notebook pc only has 1Gb RAM and runs really slowly. I was wondering if a RAM upgrade is as straight forward as my Macbook was?

Any pointers?

Well, i just found out that this model is the 1015cx, without the RAM slot. And apparently only has one card. It comes with 1Gb RAM and sholud be upgradable to 2gb.

Not sure about opening it up and getting to it though, can't find any guides. There are four screws under the removable battery, I may try that.

Have a dig around. Anybody know?

Now it won't light-up. I have powered down, removed the battery, held power button, restarted and still only black screen. I have pushed the F-keys and Fn F-keys, still black screen. Any ideas?
