On the motherboard of ASUS X541SA, I do not see the battery. Therefore, I can not reset the CMOS settings

Hi Alex Try this method, turn on the computer and access BIOS Please visit this link below. https://pastebin.com/raw/L3c3rySj Subtract current year and get the password e.g. 2019 - 10 = 2009 2018 - 10 = 2008 2017 - 10 = 2007 .. etc For example: At the password prompt, press alt+rTake note of the date displayed. For me it was 2017-05-11Use Ctrl+F to search the paste bin for your month and date. I used “-05-11"Use the codes you find until one of them works. Mine was the same code as 2007-05-11 from the paste bin.It looks like the codes might repeat every 10 years. So I would suggest starting with the month and date combination from 10 years prior to whatever date is displayed after you press alt+r.

No response on ALT+R with an Asus X541SA
