This method might not be possible if you can't access the BIOS. Removing all other drives could help but isn't guaranteed to work.
I understand. It seems you misinterpreted the source. Make sure you have the BIOS files ready and try again. You can download the manual from the provided link and follow the instructions carefully. Don't forget to run the bios renamer executable.
Thanks for the idea! It seems neither a fresh CMOS battery nor a BIOS update helped, which suggests I might need to swap out the motherboard.
Thanks for the proposal! Living in Japan means it might not be feasible, right?
There was likely some movement during shipping. The most probable issue is the BIOS chip needing replacement. If you're familiar with its location, consider using a Ch341a programmer tool.
