5 Beeps CMOS Error Solution

Just in case anyone else has this issue, I took apart my m11x R1 and messed up the CMOS...

Here is the solution. It should work for some other aliens too...


1.Remove the system battery.
2. Remove the Ac/adapter.
3. Hold the power button for 30 seconds without any power source.
4. Plug back the Ac/adapter only.
5. Hold the “FN” key and without releasing the key, Power "ON" the computer.
6. After step 5, you will notice the system will try to turn "ON" and after 5 seconds will restart, at this point you can release the “FN” key.
7. The computer will POST and starts loading Windows. (cancel the system test if you want to)
8. Shutdown your computer and plug back the system Battery.

Should be good to go... maybe want to reflash bios.

On a separate note, I just opened the computer for the first time, but I had bought it used. The chassis' female screw holes are completely stripped, and the previous owner used copious amounts of threadlocker to make the screws hold...

Any other options?

Thanks in advance.

In a similar situation taking out the CMOS for around 1 min did it for me
