I am assuming that you actually have a desktop system, possibly the X51-R2 or R1 correct? That jumper should be on pins 2 and 3 not 1 and 2. I cannot tell from your picture if in fact 2 and 3 are the pins you have the jumper on now. Can you check and reply? This forum post may help.

You need 2 Green Jumpers.

Sometimes they go physically bad and must be replaced.

I usually choose RED for password and GREEN for CMOS clear.

 read through the X51-R2 Owner's Manual on how to open the case cover and remove the Riser Card assembly. Once done, follow the instructions below to "clear" the CMOS.

* Remove the power cord from the rear of the X51-R1
* Remove the Computer Cover and the Riser Card Assembly
* Locate the green 3-pin jumper (CLEAR CMOS) on the system board
* Remove the 2-pin jumper plug from pins 2 and 3 and fix it on pins 1 and 2
* Wait for approximately five seconds
* Remove the 2-pin jumper plug from pins 1 and 2 and replace it on pins 2 and 3
* Replace the Riser Card Assembly and the Computer Cover
* Reconnect the power cord and attempt to boot up

Hi Thanks for the reply. Yes it's a R2. I didn't change the jumper position, it's the default position when I opened the chassis. I tried other methods from the forum by switching the pins to clear CMOS, but it still not working.

Thanks for the reply. I tried the method you suggested but it's still not working.

Any other ideas?

Your jumpers are upside down and the metal part may have fallen out.  Replace the jumpers with the ones I linked. When looking at the jumper from the top you should see what looks like a sliver of metal showing.

The bottom of the jumpers is closed so you do not see the pins or the sliver of metal when its on.

Note the battery connection and disconnect it.

Then remove ALL cables

Hold power button to discharge.
