-
Turn the notebook on its lid,
plug out the power cord, remove the battery and the CD-ROM drive
-
Remove the screws marked below:
-
Open the lid as shown below and
use a screwdriver to pull the plastic off the clip
-
You should now have removed the
top plastic cover with the buttons on it.
-
Now remove the other screws to be
able to remove the bottom plastic cover with the touchpad area
-
Here you can see the BIOS
battery. Lift the keyboard and carefully lift the bronze sheet metal piece.
(If you own the E7110, you need to remove a screw near the Firewire-port to
be able to bend the metal sheet up. Thanks to Maris F. for this hint.)
-
Pull out the small plug and wait
about a minute.
-
Assemble the notebook the other
way around and smile. You just reset your BIOS password although
Fujitsu-Siemens says you have to take your notebook to a service point to
let it be done. (because the Lifebook E-series is so secure *lol*)
