    Question "Please enter setup to recover BIOS setting" at every boot, despite fitting new CMOS battery ?

    I'll try, even though I believe I already did that before and still got the message "not made any changes"

    Question "Please enter setup to recover BIOS setting" at every boot, despite fitting new CMOS battery ?

    According to the website where I got, it should be 3 V. Also, there were two in the package, I can try the other one. I'll try the upside down thing, but I think I put it the same way like the previous. Anyway, if it's upside down, would it even work to begin with? Yes, I tried with a...

    Question "Please enter setup to recover BIOS setting" at every boot, despite fitting new CMOS battery ?

    Hello For the last 2-3 weeks, I always see this screen when booting my PC, after having completely shut off power: https://i.ibb.co/S4KfCbxB/20250515-093757.jpg I have already replaced the CMOS Battery (is that what it is called?), a CR2032. However, it still keeps appearing. I always set the...

    Question TV player keeps forgetting my external HDD and it thinks it's a phone ?

    What's also weird: sometimes Media Player remembers "too much". For example, it shows me files that I already deleted days ago. Of course I can't play them, but they still appear in the menu. So yes, I guess I just have to wait and hope for Sony.

    Question TV player keeps forgetting my external HDD and it thinks it's a phone ?

    How do I do that? Under diskmgmt.msc, this partition is not shown. And with Aomei, I chose Delete Partition, but nothing happened, it's still there.

    Question TV player keeps forgetting my external HDD and it thinks it's a phone ?

    Yeah I guess. I just hope they'll be useful with all the information I sent them. They said that they forwarded it to higher ranked people. Yes I know. But I want to try absolutely everything possible, however I can't get my hands on a WD or so right now. Yeah, and I've had the same model for...

    Question TV player keeps forgetting my external HDD and it thinks it's a phone ?

    I forgot to mention: I believe the previous owner used Mac. Just not sure how much he knows about partitions and stuff. No faults at all, works perfectly My mom's LG worked perfectly with my HDD. Not one of the Sony problems occured. I don't think it does, my USB flash drive worked perfectly...

    Question TV player keeps forgetting my external HDD and it thinks it's a phone ?

    Yes, I threw all my files on it. All 3TB. And today, the result is even worse. It keeps not showing those exact same subfolders G-Z either. But it also doesn't show some more (main) folders. It quickly forgets the HDD and needs to rescan. It actually behaves much worse than with my own one...

    Question TV player keeps forgetting my external HDD and it thinks it's a phone ?

    So today went a little bit differen than I expected... First, at work we neither have external drives that are over 3TB, nor such that I'd be allowed to format. Then, we still found an old one that I'm allowed to sue. And guess what, it's exactly the same Seagate that I have. I wiped and...

    Question TV player keeps forgetting my external HDD and it thinks it's a phone ?

    Yeah okay, I can do that. They only thing I can't do, is to check how the drive was being listed before all the problems began, because I never had a reason to look at that.

    Question TV player keeps forgetting my external HDD and it thinks it's a phone ?

    Honestly, I don't understand most of the words, so I think it's easier just not to mess with it Anyway, it'd probably not be the solution. Nah it's okay, because I use it very rarely. Either way, thanks a lot for the time and effort you have invested in helping me, I appreciate that. You've...

    Question TV player keeps forgetting my external HDD and it thinks it's a phone ?

    So do you think I should try to do this first and perhaps, if I'm lucky, it could solve my problem? And it can't mess up my Seagate, or delete all data on it? A few years ago, a friend built me a new computer with a SSD. But he kept the HDD from my old computer inside of the new one to use it...

    Question TV player keeps forgetting my external HDD and it thinks it's a phone ?

    Update: I connected the hdd to an 11-year-old LG tv. My whole hdd was recognized immediately. All folders from A to Z. Okay, I should mention that it's my former TV where I used to attach the hard disk for years (but not in the last 2 years). Nonetheless, I think this speaks increasingly for a...

    Question TV player keeps forgetting my external HDD and it thinks it's a phone ?

    Okay I may have made some progress now on these things 1) When no external devices are connected, it doesn't show anything in the TV's menu, only when one is connected. I have a USB flash drive with 32 gb. When I connect that one, it simply shows it as one device. But once I connect the...
