Studio XPS 8100 BIOS Problem - No Display
Hi,
I tried to run a BIOS update which failed and now when pc starts there is no display. I have removed the nvidia graphics card and plugged into dvi output but still no display.
Is there any way i can prompt the bios to reset to factory without a screen??
Regards
Chris

Hi Bev,
Im experiencing the same problem. BIOS update failed and upon powering the system back up not having a great deal of luck. I have removed the CMOS battery for 20+ minutes (also tried a week) and still no luck, tried the JUMPER reset and still no luck.
Is there any possibility or replacing the BIOS? e.g. soldering in a newie? I hate throwing stuff away.
Thanks,
Stifler ;)

I doubt it, working on a motherboard can require specialized equipment.
The following may be of interest and worth a read
As already stated, best to replace the motherboard.

Remove the CMOS battery on the motherboard, wait 20+- minutes, replace it and see if the PC starts.
If this does not fix the issue, then the solution is to replace the motherboard.
