Put it back in and boot up
That's if you can get to it without taking the case completely apart (which can be quite task...). Remember, it's in a laptop. And I know that some companies (seen a few Toshibas like this) solder the CMOS battery in place, so you'd have to desolder it/resolder it back together =\.
