There seems to be some confusion from what you've posted, teh main battery on a laptop has nowt to do with teh BIOS (or CMOS), both laptops and desktops utilise a small watch style battery to keep information like date, time, hard disk config etc when its turned off. your post mentioned removing a battery and then went on to talking about resetting BIOS. In this case it was a reasonable point to make that laptop CMOS batteries aren't that accessible.

Anyways, anyhow, I'm sure HR will get there by hook or by crook
