Update: The battery is working. The computer is keeping the date and time current even when not hooked up to the internet. There are updates available which I will probably, and with trepidation, install, but first I'm going to use this old keyboard with a ps2 connection to see if that will...

Well . . . ugh. :( I removed the battery and let it sit for some time before resetting it. It clicked back into place and seems set as it is supposed to be. But . . . I am still getting the American Megatrends message, only now, it is not only telling me that the cpu changed and I need to...
