Questions 2: Why is the light of my keyboard/optical mouse still on after computer shuts down? Answer: In some boards, a small amount of electricity is kept on standby after computer shuts down and that's why the light is still on. Question 3: How do I clear CMOS?

Disconnect the power cord from MB. 3. Take out the battery gently and put it aside for about 1 minute (Or you can use a metal object to connect the positive and negative pins in the battery holder to makethem short for 5 seconds). 4 . Re-insert the battery to the battery holder. 5. Connect power cord to MB again and turn on power. 6. Press Del to enter BIOS and load Fail-Safe Defaults(or load Optimized Defaults). 7. Save changes and reboot the system. Question 4: Why do I still get a weak sound after turning up the speaker to the maximum volume?
