Why does a computer turn on if the CMOS battery is removed?
Removing the CMOS battery will not prevent the computer from turning on, it will only cause the information in the CMOS RAM to be lost (while the computer is turned off). When you turn on the computer after the CMOS battery has been removed, while it will turn on it will most likely not boot the OS correctly but will stop in the BIOS and require you to completely setup the CMOS parameters again before you can tell it to continue..
