Thanks! If it doesn’t work at first, try shorting the battery for a longer period of time. For me it took 25-30 sec.

In reply to clervil. Do you measure the voltage of the battery? Maybe you need to replace the CMOS battery if the voltage is too low.

Also if you get black screen, you’ve probably not seated ram correctly, make sure it clicks into place correctly and this should sort the problem ( unless mobo is damaged somehow)

L450d-12x bios password can be removed by firstly removing main battery and charger and hold power button down for 10 secs to remove excess charge, then open ram cover and remove ram modules, then under the white sticker is a copper terminal called J1, it’s actually 2 very small terminals arranged to look like a square, they are lacquered so u may need to scratch them first to get a good contact, just short these together for a few secs and voila! I actually did this today after losing my bios password so I know it works.
