    WC 7435 display too dim and how to erase the HDD...

    Hey guys.

    I just traded this thing in and want to donate it to charity, but need to see if I can improve the display contrast (and maybe, sensitivity?) and also would like to erase the HDD, if possible.

    If it needs an Admin PW to do this, please let me know what it is....

    Thanks!

    You can login to diagnostics by holding the 0 key for 7 seconds, and while holding it, pressing the start key. You can then login as service admin with 6789.

    If you go to tools => diagnostics, you can then choose to 'delete all data'. This will erase all customer data and reset to factory settings. The brightness and contrast of the display can also be set in tools.

    The admin login is admin with passcode 1111.

      Thanks for that... I was able to get into Diagnostics, but did not find anything that allowed me to change the contrast of the display?
      Did I miss something?
