You gotta drain the cmos battery some how. If it's externaly accesable then your in luck. If not, then you'll have to open it.

how do i drain the battery?

Take out the CMOS chip.
Might take a while to get it drained.
Shorting the leads speeds things up a bit.
Otherwise, it might take up to two weeks, I heard.

you have to gut the laptop (get the ol'screwdriver out, and get to it!.....) find the cmos battery, pry it out of it's holder, wait 30 sec; put it back in. FISNISHED!
smart tip:
bring a digital camera. Take lots of pictures as you open her up, for referance when you close her.
