• Then turn the printer on.
• The printer will display “Cover is open” or “Close cover”, then press the 1 key to display the Reset menu.
• Locate the correct toner option to reset and select it.
• If performed correctly the printer will display “Accepted“.

Here are some tips for resetting the toner in your Brother printer:

How to hardware reset Alienware x51 BIOS

The Alienware X51 is a small form factor gaming PC that packs a serious punch. It's the perfect choice for gamers who want a powerful machine that doesn't take up too much space.

The X51 is available in a variety of configurations, so you can choose the one that's right for you. The base model comes with an Intel Core i3 processor, 6GB of RAM, and a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 645 graphics card. This is enough power to play most games at 1080p resolution.

If you want more power, you can upgrade to a Core i5 or Core i7 processor, more RAM, or a more powerful graphics card. The X51 can even be configured with a VR-ready graphics card, so you can experience the latest virtual reality games.

In addition to its powerful hardware, the X51 also has a sleek and stylish design. The case is black and silver, with a honeycomb pattern on the front. The X51 is also relatively quiet, even when it's under heavy load.

Overall, the Alienware X51 is a great choice for gamers who want a powerful and compact gaming PC. It's not the cheapest option on the market, but it's worth the investment if you're serious about gaming.

Here are the steps on how to reset the BIOS to factory default settings on an Alienware X51:

1. Lay the system on the right side.
2. Remove the stability foot.
3. Remove both the left and right side panels.
4. Locate the CMOS jumper (CLEAR_CMOS1) on the system board. It is a small jumper with two pins. The pins are labeled 1 and 2.
5. Use a small screwdriver to remove the jumper plug from pins 2 and 3.
6. Place the jumper plug on pins 1 and 2.
7. Wait for approximately five seconds.
8. Remove the jumper plug from pins 1 and 2.
9. Replace the left side panel.
10. Replace the stability foot.

Note: Resetting the BIOS will erase all of the custom settings that you have made, such as the boot order, the time and date, and the power settings. You will need to re-enter these settings after the reset.
