Flashing bios without battery

Hi! I have an X61s and I would like to put Middleton's bios on it. The problem is that I dont have a functioning battery, and I dont want to buy one just for this update.

X61s screen replacing & cpu temp questions

Hi! I've brought an X61s for 30$ and itt arrived with a cracked screen. I took it apart and it has a Samsung LTN121XJ-L07 screen, but i only found an LTN121XJ-L03 panel locally. I don't want to order one from abroad, I'm worried it will also arrive cracked. Is it compatible? Also, I repasted the cpu...
