Unlock Phoenix Fail Safe 16 digit key

[jeeman]

Hi 4 every one, its my first problem post, a few weeks ago i buy a Intel mobo DQ965GF on a garage sale(used mobo), i put an older hardware on it, but, when i push the power button the first thing i see its a message: Enter Phoenix Bios Fail Safe 16 Digit key...WTF!!!!!, no bios post or something, no option to enter in bios setup, no option to press a Esc, Del, F2, F9, F8, F11, F12 or similar function, its no mode to get into bios setup or win Os options. I try to get off the battery but no work, and i see in the mobo a differen bios figure, its very small and have a 8 pins. How can i Unlock this bios, or an a better way, find an original bios chip, thanks for your help.

Intel DQ965GF
BIOS identifier CO96510J.86A

jeeman,

Unfortunately, this is a Phoenix technology designed to prevent people from stealing hardware/notebooks/netbooks. Without the sticker containing the key it will be nearly impossible to remove it unless you re-flash the BIOS using an external programmer. Is the chip removable?

Hello ,

I wish to get some advice of how to unlock my computer of the 16 digit that is required, after using Windows 7 Starter up dates on my Samsung N150 Netbook.

After the down loads were completed, it rebooted and then this msg came up asking for the Failsafe Key ..... !

I never knew the Netbook had a failsafe loaded and neither did the company explained to me that is was also loaded.

What is the best way I can get this machine working again .. ??
