That's not what you said. "If the motherboard battery be aware this will wipe computer , so make back up copies of files before attempting this." Resetting the BIOS will not "wipe the computer" whatever that means.albaker wrote:Sorry but removing CMOS battery on a motherboard will reset BIOS to default , facthhinner wrote: ↑Sat Nov 04, 2017 9:48 pmWhy would removing and replacing the motherboard battery wipe the computer?

Power batteries are no problem other than you may need a T5 screwdriver to open the retaining cover and usually the whole battery will come out , no problems whatever with static electricity . Mother board batteries are a different thing altogether and you would need to use non conductive material , plastic , and an earth strap for further protection .
If the motherboard battery be aware this will wipe computer , so make back up copies of files before attempting this .

Re: Shipping a laptop overseas
Made it to DHL Express today.
Didn’t have to remove the battery but thanks for the warning Steve and everyone else for their advice.
Laptop hopefully en-route to Europe.
Cheers,
