Removing the battery may not reset the CMOS, unless you wait
9^(9^(9^9)) centuries so that mobo capacitors and othe
associated capacity discharges. You have to:
-Remove the battery.
-Touch every pin of the CMOS chip (unless you know for sure
which one is the supply) to GND.
Even having the mobo alone, and shorting the supply pins to
GND does not suffice: there are diodes.
This procedure is not valid for bios CMOS chips which
include the battery (black Dallas, etc), unless knowing the
function of all of its pins.
Don't go this way if not knowing what you are doing.
