eeepc refuse to boot

One day, my eeepc refuse to boot when I was playing with MacOS installation. It keep stuck @ the blank screen. After sending to the service center, they revived my eeepc. few hours later, i killed it again.

So instead of sending it back again, I decided to solve it myself. After googling and also from the TIPS from the engineers, I know I need to reset something but duno what. After dismantle the whole machine and also google around, the below is the steps to recover.

1. Take out battery and power cable
2. Press power button for 15-20s (different source got different timing, I guess the longer the better)
3. Locate the CMOS "button". It is a two trangle shape, just below the RAM, you need to take out the RAM cover and the RAM itself. You should see two triangle side by side.
4. Short the CMOS with a paper clip.

Put everything back and restart. It should work.
