Whatever method you use is fine. Start with the button before trying anything else if it works, then move on.
I support multipack too. Begin with the BIOS default settings, and only try the button if needed.
If the button fails, consider these steps based on how corrupted your BIOS is:
1. Swap the jumper (if your motherboard has one) from pins 1 & 2 to 2 & 3.
2. Remove the battery for 5 to 10 minutes.
For more stubborn BIOS issues, try additional approaches:
3. Test all possible combinations—button, jumper, battery removal, unplugging the AC cable, pressing the power button for a minute, and waiting an hour, or wait overnight if none of these help.
