HP Compaq Nc8430 :: Power-On Password
Sep 20, 2014
The exact message is Power-On Password and a symbol of a key.
I am trying to clear this Power-On Password message on a HP Compaq nc8430. Searching though this forum and on the Internet, everyone mentions I should remove the laptop battery and the internal battery to clear this password. I have do so and left the battery out overnight and the password is still there.
I have found another mention of a IC or similar that is used on laptops to be more secure. I have also found mention that some laptops can be reset by a "jumper" or by touching points on a motherboard.

I purchased an HP nc8430 in 2006, and its been brilliant.
Its getting a bit long in the tooth and I am now after a replacement.
I do some moderate gaming so a dedicated video card is a must.
At present, I am looking at the Dell Studio 15/16 models as they seem to offer good bang for the buck. However I have been so happy with my HP Notebook that I would like to see what HP have to offer.
I have tried the HP UK website, however I totally hate the layout of it, and am totally confused with the myriad of options and model ranges. I cant seem to filter out what I want.
What I am looking for is a 15" (approx) laptop with a dedicated video card.

Lately (last two weeks) my gpu has been dowclocking itself, that wouldnt be problem if it wasnt happening ingames (wow, wc3, hl2), even with powerplay off gpu still downcloacks itself to 392/250 from 425/380 and funny thing is, gpu alone swaps between those modes arounde once per minute. also when i alt+tab gpu clocks itself back to 425/380 (all this is happening while ingame)
now that isnt problem in wc3, but in hl2 and wow couses low fps (3-4 )instead of regular 40+ making games unplayable
i am using windows 7 x64, with all the leatest updates, didnt test if this happens on xp but willing to try, problem is i lost my recovery cd-s :S
Week b4 this started to happen i used mobility driver moder and instaled catalyst 9.3, noticed significal fps boost in wow and hl-2, even tryed fresh win instal with vista64 drivers for gpu from hp page (very old drivers) still it didnt solve my problem, mbo has latest bios availible from hp.
Some help would be awsome as i'm rly out of options and what to do, and rly dont feel like reinstaling windows once again ...
could i somehow disable powerplay or owerride it with ati tray tools? problem is i cant run any 3d aplication if att is on they just dont wanna start.

Basically I'm having some issues with my laptop battery, which seems to be stuck at a particular percentage. By this I mean that when its plugged in the indicator says:
However, when I unplug the mains the laptop turns off immediately, giving the impression that there is no charge at all.

I have Windows 7 RTM running on my nc8430 laptop. It has been working great. The only issue is a standby problem. If I put the computer to sleep via the FN-f3 combo it goes to sleep like it should and wakes up like it should. My power profile is set to put the computer to sleep after 10min of inactivity. If after 10min I let the computer go to sleep on its own, upon resuming it from standby I get a black screen. The computer is on and everything is working with sound, just no screen.
I am assuming it is a possible BIOS problem or video driver problem. I have the most recent of each and have tried different video driver versions but no fix.
