I'm not really in the mood to fry my mobo, so what is the straight up answer from someone that actually knows? On one point, some say take out the battery before you clear the BIOS with a jumper because you don't want to send a charge down the pins. On a second point, some say that taking out the battery will not allow ANY charge to even affect the volatile memory in the BIOS.
Anyone know the real answer? This should be a fun answer session... DON'T GUESS!

Leave battery IN, alternatively take batter out overnight, both have same effect.

Two ways to reset youer CMOS settings, take the battery out of the motherboard, but don't touch the jumpers... Or just move the jumpers to the reset switch and leave the battery alone. This will cause the CMOS to reset to it's default settings.

Reset the bios. one million. Open the case and do a jumper reset on the Bios reset jumper. 2. determine you unplug some thing thats linked to the flair grant (exterior the case) 3. detect the Bios Reset Jumper. (J12 it varies between motherboards & manufacturers) analyze the MoBo education manual or seek for for the label etched into the board. 4. short (swap the situation from []x[] [] to [] []x[]) for 5 seconds then replace to unique place. 5. close case, reconnect skill grant.
