Are you able to disconnect the CMOS battery? That has always done it
for me in the past, although the only laptops I've tried it on were
>5yr old Thinkpads.
Here is the service manual for that computer (assuming it is the 2500
notebook series and not the 2500 desktop series)

There is instructions on how to remove the CMOS battery. (page 2-61)

P.S . If anyone is looking for info on HP products (including Compaq)
you just go to this page:
http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/support.html
and enter your product number ( i.e. i have a 'presario 3470r', i had
to use 'presario 2510' in this case to get any info since 2500 is not
the real number.) Then just select "Manuals" and its all there :-)
