Edit: seems like this was allready said, should have read before posting, in my defence it is 8am, i ahve been awake for the past 3 days.

Did you look at my post above? You must do both. That pic is from a standard ASUS manual. THe reason for pulling the battery is you are shorting the battery when you are shorting the circuit. WHen the jumper is removed, the battery is out of the loop. SHort the circuit and you short everything. Might be a good way to get your battery to fail and leak all over your nice motherboard.
