Manual reset motherboard: Soyo SY-K7VME

Bios settings are retained by the Motherboard Battery in the CMOS. Disconnecting the battery clears CMOS and returns the settings to their original state. Typically this can be done by simply removing the CMOS battery and waiting about 15 seconds before reinserting and booting PC. Nowadays most Motherboard manufacturers supply a jumper to not only disconnect the battery but also ground the CMOS to effectively drain any residual power. The instructions for your MB are found below. JP5 is located to the left of the battery and next to the PCI 2 slot on your MB. There is a Manual for your MB on this site and the MB layout can be found athttp://www.fixya.com/support/p281070-soy... CMOS Clear (JP5)
In some cases the CMOS memory may contain wrong data, follow the steps below to clear the CMOS
memory. 1. Clear the CMOS memory by momentarily shorting pin 2-3 on jumper JP5. Its white cap can
easily identify this jumper.
2. Put the jumper back to 1-2 to allow writing of new data into the CMOS memory. Bios settings are retained by the Motherboard Battery in the CMOS.
