I have a Compaq Presario 700a notebook computer and the BIOS/CMOS battery is dead. I replaced it with a new one and it still won't turn on. Is there something else I am supposed do to reset the BIOS or something? I am very good with computers.

CMOS battery affects time & date, along with customized BIOS settings. If your notebook isn't powering on at all, the problem is likely elsewhere. (Computers default to their earliest date & default bios without CMOS battery but they still turn on)
