hi to all
I accidentally diasbled usb in bios.
Now am unable to reinstall windows 10,get into bios;nothing at all

i opened the machine just to see there is no battery to be removed nor a reset switch

So how do i reset bios now...

I saw someone having the same issue here: http://forum.archosfans.com/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=70715

(sorry that i was unsuccessfull try to add pictures of the board)

update:bios chip is winbond w25q64fw ;8 pin version. pic:https://www.google.cm/imgres?imgurl=htt ... MwhCKB8wHw

it seems the only way out is bios flashing

caution this chip is 1.8V so not all the programmers can do the job
Anyway if i get it to work again how do i get the windows licence back?
