I am working on an HP mini 110, when I load the computer all I get is a quick bad checksum screen and then back to the screen that tells you to press a button to get into the bios, but I can't do that even. When I press any button nothing happens it's just stuck. I checked the ram, hard drive, cmos battery, and even replaced the motherboard, but still I get the same screen. I'm all out of ideas and need help.
Did u replace CMOS battery?
Also try the hard reset, this is done by disconnecting the AC power and battery then hold the power button for 15 seconds.You know the real meaning of peace only if you have been through the war.
hmmm tyr replacing the cpu if you replaced the motherboard checked the ram and hard drive if it checked out ok since you changed out everything else. Iron Sharpens Iron.
Are you using a USB keyboard? If so try temporary replcing it with a PS/2 key board. To get into the BIOS you need a fully functioning keyboard.

Did this just suddenly start happening or was it after you did something? Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks
mmm Upside down battery does sound quite possible here...? Equally a stuck key, or duff/faulty keyboard...; as it appears that everything else has been replaced?
I think the OP is mistaking the bios battery as the main battery.....hmmmmm Some HELP in posting on Computing.net plus free progs and instructions 7 Golds
How much money and time have you wasted on this less than $300 dollar netbook? I can't imagine it's really worth that much effort. That device is almost 3 years old, for a couple of hundred, you could purchase something brand new and way better specs. Not trying to be rude but on a cheap device like that it just isn't worth the time, money, and frustration spent try ing to resurrect it. It's a disposable laptop.
interesting point from XpUser in post 9; could well be that...? Also somewhat agree with THX in post 10...
