Hei,

i want to upgrade the BIOS in my 600E. The on in it is quite old.

Trouble is that the battery is totally gone, removing power immediately
makes the notebook switch off.

So now, when using the BIOS update diskette, it states that it won't
update because the battery is not charged. Argl.

Does anyone have a hint how to fool the update utility into thinking
it's charged or how to make it not check at all?

Andr=E9.
