<description><![CDATA[<p>I need to unlock a BIOS password on Dell Precision M4500 laptop. The model # on the bottom is PP30LA, the Service Tag is G7QNXN1-1F5A and the Express Service Code 35296567309. It will not even let you go to BIOS without the password, states that the computer system is locked and it will not allow access to anything without the password. I have been browsing and have seen some suggestions about a jumper that is used on some models to reset or remove this password but I have yet to find it. Can anyone help? Thank you for your time.

<title><![CDATA[Dell Precision M4400: Unable to get by BIOS Password]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Bought a Dell M4400, understand it was a government computer. It appears to have BIOS passwords that prevents it from booting at all.  It asks for a password when powered on. BIOS password removal tools do not work because the password prompt appears before the machine can boot from CD, etc. I've tried removing the battery for 5 minutes, and several other suggestions. I'm not very experienced with laptops and at a loss with one. I would appreciate any ideas. Thanks!</p>

<title><![CDATA[Dell Precision M4800: Replacement keyboard not working]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>My “P” key stopped working on my Dell Precision M4800. I ordered THREE different replacement keyboards, one with exact same part numbers. None of the  replacement kbds show up in BIOS or device mgr (as PS2). If I put the original kbd back in. It works and shows up in BIOS and device manager. Could the firmware be linked to a specific serial number? That would be rather stupid. Any ideas?</p>

<title><![CDATA[Dell Precision M6800: Virus - Miner, CPU load, Windows 10]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi.</p>

<p>I  think my laptop has a virus in it, which  can not be identified by windows  security. In “Windows security” - ”Virus and threat protection” - ”Exclusions”, the exclusions are adding to list without my permission. If laptop is not in use for 4 minutes, the CPU stars running at 100% and as soon as i touch mouse or type any button it gets back to normal work, also if the Task Manager is opened this “thing” will not occur (all works normally).</p>

<p>I was advise to (buy) install Kaspersky antivirus.</p>

<p>Do you have another option to deal with this kind of abnormality?</p>

<p>Thanks!))</p>

<title><![CDATA[Dell Precision M90: How to stop shutdown error]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>This is a Dell Precision M90 laptop with nVidia Quadro display chip, 17 &quot;monitor, well cooled intel core 2 duo 2.17GB T7400 cpu, 2 Gigs ram, a clean 120GB WD HD, all devices have current drivers except for 2 unknown &quot;base system devices&quot; that show yellow exclamation in device manager and cannot find drivers for.</p>

<p>Using Windows 7 Professional.</p>

<p>System runs very well except at shutdown.</p>

<p>Shutdown process indicates (I turned on verbose reporting to see what was going on) when Group Policy Client services are being shut down this error stops the process:</p>

<div class="imageBox imageBox_left"><img src="https://guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com/igi/PNwQx3TakDtaISJh.standard" width="169" height="225" class="hasMenu hasLarge" alt="Block Image" onclick="window.open(&quot;https:\/\/guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com\/igi\/PNwQx3TakDtaISJh.huge&quot;, '', 'width=900,height=1200')" /></div>

<p>setup.exe - THIS PROGRAM CANNOT BE INSTALLED ON THIS OPER. SYSTEM</p>

<p>OK</p>

<p>Clicking on OK allows the shutdown process to finish.</p>

<p>Is this a secret windows update installation attempt that has gone wrong?</p>

<p>Any leads would be appreciated.</p>
