Ok I recently changed my FSB to 133MHz opposed to the previous setting of 100MHz. Although it used to run at 133MHz on an older motherboard. So I thought I would change it back. But when I did and went to boot up I got the dreaded black screen. So I opened up my computer in hopes of taking out the CMOS battery. To my displeasure it appears as if it is soldered in there good. I then looked for jumper cables but didn't find any of those either. So basicially I am wondering if there are any other ways and any suggestions to what I should do, and if they make motherboards that don't allow the BIOS settings to be resetted.

That doesn't make sense that there are no BIOS jumpers and the battery got solderd in. I'd go out and buy a new motherboard, because thats just outright unacceptable.

I find that hard to believe, (only dell would do something that stupid) post a good picture of the battery area. What mobo do you have?

Do you want to know what this really sounds like to me? Like someone who is trying to remove the bios password that doesn't have access to the case (locked in a cabinet at school maybe?)
