@Taxidermista: Use the recovery image provided by zort: I did the recovery twice; don't know the exact method but this one worked first time: removed the cmos battery, waited a little while, put battery back in. Got hold of a twizzer and placed it in from the side touch the two pins, turned power on, switched on PC and removed twizzer. PC should turn on and off by itself and floppy should start to read if successful. Good luck!
Jezz, now the battery... I can't remove it, it's blocked by the copper pipes. I'd rather go with the CLEAR CMOS button on the back, pressing it for 30 sec. EDIT: No way, I follow your steps and nothing, I never saw the light on the floppy drive. Did you press any keys? Did you remove the pci-e graphic card? I did all the thing with the video card removed. BTW, thanks for the recovery image zort.
@Taxidermista: are you sure you are shorting the pins correctly? If the pins are being shorted, and you keep it shorted then I believe the PC should turn on//off continuously until you let go!
I can confirm that the trick with shorting the 2 pins on the bios chip works on SP35P2 Pro also. After successfully modding my bios with 2.0 slics for a while i failed miserable with 2.1 ending up with blinking cursor at boot (after system check). Popped in a floppy drive i had laying around and tried in wain to get it to boot. Decided to try shorting the 2 pins (as seen in Taxidermistas picture) and voila after some trial and error i got it in to rescue boot from the floppy by using a paper clip.
