    Had to disconnect CMOS battery. Now wont go past recovery utility....

    Bios reset to factory specs and date is 2009. I have a dell latitude e6400 ATG service tag: 5MPVHL1 1F5A

    Searching the site seems to show that I have to do some serious business to either bypass or generate a password and the only one who can do it for me is on the Ivory Coast.
    5MPVHL1 1F5A any takers? I need a bios password.

    Running Windows 7 64bit
    Upgraded wifi and running Solid State Drive.
    4 gb ram
    Dual core 3gb T9900. It's not a gamer, but is very stable and puts up with my abuse.

    Ran this configuration for the last 12 months no problem, but had to remove mother board to replace the USB/Audio daughter board.
    Now, I can see the hard drive and all the windows files on the command prompt, but wont boot.

    All I can think of is that the Bios needs to be updated with a download from Dell.

    Can I boot off an UBUNTU ISO DVD and then update the BIOS from the dell website that way?

    Any thoughts.

    Sounds like SSD corruption. I would wipe the SSD and reinstall the OS.
