Hi All If you can find the older topics, you can find the solution, anyway reshare again Try this method, turn on the computer and access BIOS Please visit this link below. https://pastebin.com/raw/L3c3rySj Subtract current year and get the password e.g. 2019 - 10 = 2009 2018 - 10 = 2008 2017 - 10 = 2007 .. etc For example: (1) At the password prompt, press alt+r (2) Take note of the date displayed. For me it was 2017-05-11 (3) Use Ctrl+F to search the paste bin for your month and date. I used "-05-11" (4) Use the codes you find until one of them works. Mine was the same code as 2007-05-11 from the paste bin. (5) It looks like the codes might repeat every 10 years. So I would suggest starting with the month and date combination from 10 years prior to whatever date is displayed after you press alt+r.

@slapsy Check your power adapter, and inspect the power cord for any frays, etc. had you tried on different power outlet source? If the adapter is not connected to laptop but connected to the power source and circuit breaker trips when you turn on, most probably your power adapter is faulty.

Hi @sitko I suspect the internal battery could be bloated, thus causing this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5ly9BzUgiI Open it up to confirm

"Hi Tyler media," Well, I guess you can try, I think is a good investment. For me, I do buy many rechargeable batteries, somehow for alkaline batteries, if left out for long time, the probability of leaking is high and the leaked chemical can damage terminals and seep into the circuit board, damaging it further. You need to get a battery charger. Some say Nitecore D4 is great, which I had one too And perhaps AA to D cell converter / adapter I had several batteries, ranging from Panasonic / Sanyo Eneloop and recently using Ikea Ladda battery. I think if your side has ikea, you can consider it. For this appliance I will recommend you to go for Eneloop pro series from Panasonic or Ikea Ladda 2450.

Hi @sugamomma4817 Just purchased? Send it back to service center for service.

Hi @jdlc20 Suggest you to clean off the superglue residue as much as possible ensure they are clean and consider using some epoxy adhesive like this: http://www.go-araldite.com/products/epoxy-adhesives/araldite-rapid-2-x-15ml-tube

Hi @tahm are they any important files you need to access? else consider just erase your drive after 5 incorrect password tries. AFAIK I do not see any known "backdoor" or solutions to recover from forgotten password. You can try contacting WD support but I guess they will turn you down and advise you to do a full erase on the drive.

Hi hongminhau2011 Sadly those micro switches have some lifespan…. I had fixed a lot of mouse due to this issues……. You will need to open up, and check on it, lookout for any dry solder joints too. If you have some soldering skills, considering replacing the microswitch first. You can source it from ebay / aliexpress. considering sharing the internal pictures of your mouse.

Hi m.rigo78 One way to check is to check the voltage of the internal battery inside. If the voltage is too Low, there is a probability that the battery might be defective. There are other consideration as mentioned if the charging circuit if it is working well, etc. Check the battery voltage with a multimeter first :)

Tips: Either use a multimeter or use a CR2032 battery to test the LED before soldering in :)))
