If the laptop was off, I don't know why shaking it would cause a BIOS failure unless the BIOS chip was not properly seated. I have dropped my ThinkPads (accidentally) with no damage.<br />
<br />
So the laptop probably does need service.

&gt;&gt; &nbsp; Tech support wants me to send it back and that is just ridiculous. &nbsp;The laptop is maybe a week old. &nbsp;&lt;&lt;<br />
be happy that it's only a week old - otherwise you'd have to pay for the fix !<br />
So send it in asap<br />
<br />
as you can see from the above, you can't reset the password - if you don't know it

I have a Toshiba P75-A7100 Laptop. &nbsp;It Got a little shaken up the other day and when I go to boot it now it asks for the bios password &nbsp;I removed the Battery and it still asks for the password. &nbsp;I looked for the jumper to reset it and can not find it. &nbsp;Tech support wants me to send it back and that is just ridiculous. &nbsp;The laptop is maybe a week old. &nbsp;Anybody have any ideas where the reset jumpers maybe on this laptop.

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.

An embedded system is a computer system with a dedicated function within a larger mechanical or electrical system, often with real-time computing constraints. Examples of properties typical of embedded computers when compared with general-purpose ones are low power consumption, small size, rugged operating ranges, and low per-unit cost. Modern embedded systems are often based on microcontrollers; the processor(s) used may be types ranging from general purpose to those specialised in certain class of computations, or even custom designed for the application at hand. A common standard class of dedicated processors is the digital signal processor (DSP).
