look for a triangle on the lead header - that will be the positive.

Plec · 12 May 2017 at 19:35

you could just connect the Power Switch

Plec · 12 May 2017 at 19:35

Power SW (only 2 cables next to each other - no gap in the middle)

Check the IO back plate at the back - no bits of metal sticking out or looks odd?

We are in the BIOS

BeadyRoller · 12 May 2017 at 19:40

Greeted with a message "Bios has been reset, please re config your bios setup items if needed"

Plec · 12 May 2017 at 19:41

No engraved triangle on the black connector?

Try again - that's can be a battery flat warning.

Plec · 12 May 2017 at 19:49

Sorry thought you had.

You need to hit delete...

Plec · 12 May 2017 at 19:50

BeadyRoller · 12 May 2017 at 19:51

I should add that message displays inside of what looks like the BIOS.

Plec · 12 May 2017 at 19:55

Add the keyboard - hopefully you'll be able to access the BIOS.

Plec · 12 May 2017 at 19:56
