I would like to update the old phoenix A14 bios on my dell latitude d600 to the new phoenix A16 which was recommended by dell . But i hear i would have to turn off / reset overclocking to the default manufacturer set up ! Please how do i do this or does any one here know the default bios / cmos set up for Dell latitude D600. Please help.

reset your cmos. all you need to do is either move the jumper on the motherboard or take out the battery and turn on the computer

Thanks for replying . so when i take out the battery do i plug directly to electricity or do i just leave it off for sometime

MrAMD_Fan

Move the jumper? On a laptop? Wut? Why do you want to update the bios?
I think he is talking about the cmos battery.... I'm not sure about the D600 but i have a D610 and the cmos battery is under the panel on the bottom that has a "C" next to it. You just take that cover off (make sure the Li-ion battery is out and power supply is unplugged) and unplug the little connector that goes to the cmos battery... and then wait for a couple minutes. Then plug it back in and put the cover back on, put the Li-ion battery back in and hook the power supply up and power it up.

Also, i've updated the bios on plenty of D600s and i don't think it changes any settings in there. I mean you can if you want but it doesn't do it by default.
