    Hey guys, so my bios is telling me to replace my battery every time I turn on the damn thing with the Loudest pc speaker beep ever and I have to press F1 to resume every single time. It says my battery is faulty. It works just fine... and even if it was faulty I don't care. I want to disable this notice once and for all. The loud beep is damaging my brain haha. PLEASE HELP!!!! Plus I hate the fact that when I turn on my laptop I have to press F1 after a couple secs to boot up. SAVE ME. ty! :eek:

    Not sure how to disable, but you could try booting off power adaptor and removing the battery for a few seconds while you boot.

    Go into the bios and disable the battery warning. When ur computer boots up its one of the 'F#' keys, either 2,8, or 12.

    As a temporary solution, you can just boot off your power adapter without attaching the battery. I'm doing it myself. Just remember that it will now act as a desktop, so be careful not to accidentally disconnect the cable and such.
