Hello gazzac72,
You said you removed the "battery." Which battery did you remove? Did you remove the laptop battery or the CMOS battery? The CMOS battery is inside the computer. You will need to remove this to reset the BIOS settings.
When removing the CMOS battery, please follow these instructions:
• Remove the CMOS battery for 3-5 minutes
• While the CMOS battery, power adapter, and laptop battery are removed, press and hold the power button for 20-30 seconds to dissipate any remaining power.

Hello gazzac72,
Could you upload a copy of the BIOS image that you are trying to flash please?
