Welcome to Fixya
What is the brand of your motherboard? To reset the BIOS of most motherboard you need to remove the power cable from the computer. Remove the CMOS battery. Hold down the power button for 10 seconds. If removing the CMOS battery does not reset the BIOS then please reply back with the model of your motherboard and I will try to help you locate the jumper of the board
Hope to get a reply soon.
Welcome to Fixya
The video link you posted is for removing the Bios password. Could you please verify what are you trying to do with the computer? How did you came up the idea to jumper the B500 if this is not bios password issue.
Your response will be highly appreciated.
Thank you for using Fixya!

Try all the methods you can and make sure you follow all instructions and pay attention to all warnings
There is a spot labeled J4 under the ram. If you look closely its actually two pieces of metal very close to each other. short them to a ground like the ram chasis with a paperclip or other conductor and start the computer while they're shorted wait 5 seconds, turn it off, put the ram back in and turn it on

Almost all motherboards contain a jumper that can clear all CMOS settings along with the BIOS password. The location of this jumper varies depending upon the motherboard brand. You should read your motherboard manual to check its location. If you don

A TOSHIBA V000108690 MOTHERBOARD.
A TOSHIBA MOTHERBOARD V000108690 FOR A A215-S7462 LAPTOP.
i dont think that manual has the specs of the motherboard. part # V000108690. i am trying to find the jumper to reset the bios and cmos battery.
i see the motherboard diagram but cannot tell the location of the jumper.. i tried jumping out the b500 bios jumber in under the memory modules but am now wanting to reset the cmos. Any suggestions?
i think thats what i was talking about with the b500 jumper. it shows it herehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCPdsF0Hj... I will try the article from kerneltrap but the lables forr the jumper locations are different. it saying it will be labled c88 and i see c995 and c993 in under the wireless card. i am trying to reset everything because windows downloaded an update that flashed the bios but in the middle of the install the neighborhood lost power and now no computer. i hate bios issues like this. Maybe also the article that said to disconnect everything for 48 hours.
I think that the j4 option is what i was talking about earlier labled b500. I found it at www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCPdsF0HjkY. The second article about jumping out c88 in under the wireless card might work but the only thing I see is labled c995 and c993 that matches what is talked about.
Windows downloaded and tried to install a bios update on this computer and in the middle of the install the whole block lost power. So, the bios did not get flashed correctly. After jumping out the bios in under the memory module, the computer now comes on for a min. reads the cdrom drive and restarts itself. I have no screen, just the sound of the drive. So that why im thinking if I can clear the cmos then maybe I can get this thing running again with a fresh bios flash done manually and not by windows. Thats why I have my computers set to get the updates put not to install them. I hate bios issues like this.
I was trying to find the manual or schamatic for the motherboard. Toshiba board with part # 1310A2127109 on the board. After researching that # I found that it changed to V000108690. Windows tried to update the bios and the power to this neighborhood went out. So, the bios was being fashed and didn't get finished. GREAT WINDOWS. I never set my own computers to install new updates before I look over them. I tried to put a jumper on the contacts labled B500 like explained in this link, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCPdsF0Hj..., to reset the bios. Next, I unsoldered the CMOS battery and went and ate dinner and watched the baby for a while. I soldered it back in and, still, when u hit the power button the unit comes on for a few seconds, you can hear the cdrom drive spin real quick and then the unit restarts itself. It goes through the same process 3 or 4 times before it finally shuts all the way down. There is no display and I tried to force it to boot to cdrom with the bios update but nothing.

I was hoping that I could get the bios and cmos to reset and then just run the bios update mannually. I just wasn't sure of the location of the jumpers. If you can provide any insight I would appreciate it.
Its not that im trying to remove the BIOS password. A BIOS update was being installed and didn't get to finish. I was trying to reset the BIOS so that the computer will boot up. Right now, the computer just comes on for a few seconds, never showing the toshiba logo screen, and restarts itself about 4 times and then shuts down. Any suggestions?

I would like to know the location to use a jumper for the BIOS and the CMOS. I have tried jumping out the terminals labeled B500 in under the memory modules and I have unsoldered the CMOS battery and waited a couple of hours before I soldered it back. Right now, the computer just comes on for a few seconds, never showing the toshiba logo screen, and restarts itself about 4 times and then shuts down. Any suggestions?

Apparently, the BIOS was being flashed and the neighborhood lost power. The computer did not have its battery pack so bye bye. I was trying to reset the BIOS with the B500 and noticed that it was only for the BIOS password later. I also took the CMOS mattery out and let it sit for a while trying to get it and the BIOS to reset. Is there another jumper that I can try? I dont mind ordering another BIOS, Im just trying to get it up and going for the mean time.
just got off the phone with toshiba and they said there is no BIOS replacement only a new motherboard. So, I would appreciate any insight if there is anything I can do.
