Have you tried taking the battery out completely, leaving it for a few minutes (maybe longer?) and then trying again?

Is it a desktop or a laptop?? If it's a laptop you'll have a hard time getting to the jumpers.

I think this person was assuming its a laptop and just referring to the main laptop battery.... not any internal CMOS one
