CMOS Reset for HP Pavillion mother board

Hi eveyone! I have a mother board issue with a HP Pavillion XT936, or something like that?! The BIOS checks fine but the board will not recognize the CDROM Drives at all. Called HP for the reset sequence and location ofthe CMOS on the board but they were no help. They just kept telling me to send it in for repair and would not divulge the location or the jumper settings for the CMOS. Can anyone help? Thanks

Could be a bad drive.. Also.. If its the controller you are in trouble. Does it show in BIOS?

Just use the instructions here

To yank the battery from the motherboard. It does the exact same thing as pulling the CMOS jumper.

Newer BIOS chips are soldered to the motehrboard. I found that out after my DV6000 BIOS update failed. There is a crisis receovery method that may work, just search the forums and the web. When mine filed, it didn't power on at all! called HP and they wanted 300 bucks for the repair. searched some more and found aqstech.com sent i to them and they did it for 100 bucks. HP should waive expired warranties when it comes to BIOS failures.
