CMOS battery is dead, but are you really sure that is it? I mean it holds bios settings as long as I keep it plugged in

Shadowed means it just copied the bios from rom to ram for faster access. It is part of the normal boot procedure. The problem is probably after mouse initialization.
I’ll try a reflash if i can find the original bios. Maybe it is corrupted but i doubt it. I think the problem might be with pci devices

It’s a Toshiba A30
When I hold pause, it shows me a blue rectangle and reboots, then fails to boot as always. Hitting repeatedly has the same effect.
Idk what type the “mouse” is, touchpad has a 4 pin ribbon connector
I can reach somewhere like this when I hold both printsc and pause

i unplugged the touchpad, now it just doesn’t say “mouse initialized” and still crashes
