How do I reset an AMI bios in a tablet without removable battery and single frame case without screws to unplug the cmos battery?
Hard mode: the gpu has been deactivated in the bios so I don't see anything
I tried ESC to enter the bios blind, then F9 for load defaults and enter to confirm, then F10 to exit and enter to confirm, nothing happened
Maybe the USB controller is also deactivated

You say it's ded beyond salvation?
It's a coworkers tablet, he tried to install Linux on it for some reason
no. i mean riperoni as rip ur life
no other way than to power cycle that bih
Maybe letting the battery discharge to 0 will trigger a reset and there's no actual cmos battery inside
But that's going to take a long time to get done
just hook up usb powered device
Great idea, just did that, seems like USB power is working

Lmao the tablet has a security mechanism
When battery reaches 5 %, it won't boot anymore
Probably to prevent a CMOS reset
that's the battery protection probably
That means that if I deep uncharge it, I risk fucking the battery because the system tries to prevent me from doing it
Locked down tablets hurray
you probably just need to remove the screen
It's not that easy, it's an aluminum frame with a few bolts and no screws
I could probably bent it open
Dremel
lmao that's drastic
But fun
I'll just tell him to toss the tablet if that doesn't work, I'm helping out of friendlyness
You could see if it can be forced via usb-tools
It's some dell with x86 bay trail cpu, not sure about the exact model
Lemme see
There are a few that look like that
