I have two R50 Thinkpads, one a victim of BSOD. It will not read the HD and the DIMM chips are good. I swapped the HD from the victim to the good laptop and it reads it. Any suggestions on how I can reset the BIOS in the victim, assuming that's the problem?

The BSOD left it unbootable. Can't read the HD at all when I turn the laptop on.

Bad sata controller on the mobo perhaps?
