Have her F2 into BIOS/system setup (at the Dell splash screen) and default
the BIOS settings. ALT+F might do it, if not, arrow down to the bottom of
the BIOS index and select "defaults" (under system maintenance, perhaps).

I have tried that...that is what I found googling. When the machine
pwers up, it goes directly to the message. No splash screen, no bios.
It does this almost immediately.

Thanks

Mike-

Older Dell desktops could be forced into 'manufacturing mode' by manually
moving/removing system board jumpers if I recall correctly.

You've likely got a system board problem.

Short of replacement, the system probably needs to be disassembled powered
down with the main battery removed. You're going to want to locate the CMOS
battery and either temporarily remove it or possibly replace it. You don't
mention if this unit is a C610 or a D610 (I'd guess the former would be more
at risk of a dead/dying CMOS battery), so here's the main system index to
find the instructions for disassembly:
http://support.dell.com/support/systemsinfo/documentation.aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&~cat=12

Further, if it is indeed a C610, I wouldn't put a ton of money or time into
it. IMO, it's not worth it. Might be time for a system upgrade.

Its a D610 (3.5 years old) I thought about looking for and pulling
the CMOS Battery. I will look at the jumpers as well, hadn't thought
about those. From what little is available, I suspect the system board
as well. I won't put any money into it. I will pass my E1505 to my
daughter and have an excuse to get another laptop, possibly an XPS
M1530.

I just need to pull the disk and pull of some data.

Thanks,
Mike
