Does this tablet have a bios chip? I need to remove the bios battery to reset the bios settings and the password.
I have the same problem. I need to reset the bios password. Tell me if you found a solution. Thanks.
“… and then begin to pry up the screen from black plastic.”
Please give more details. What do you need to pry it up with? Do you need to use plastic spacers or something to stop the magnets from pulling it back down?
Where are the magnets, and can they be depolarised for DIY?
Can the battery be replaced leaving the screen and two cables connected?
Do you know where I can get the parts? I need a wireless card for my G1.
This is all wrong. The only way to open an Elitepad 900 G1 or 1000 G2 is with the Elitepad Service Tool, available only to HP certified centers. The glass of the Elitepad is held with magnets, not screws, and if you do it wrong, you can destroy the glass without the Service Tool.
You can open it at home without a problem. Just stick a very slim screwdriver between the matte plastic part and the plastic line covering the screen. Then, you can pop open the joints one by one. Again, around the screen, there is a plastic line. And there is the black matte plastic that covers some parts of the back. You start between them, on the screen side.
Is it possible to show the location of the BIOS chip?
