What should be done after disconnecting the coin-cell (CMOS) battery during recovery?

After disconnecting the coin-cell (CMOS) battery as part of a recovery or troubleshooting process, releasing the flea power is an important step. This action ensures that any residual power within the system has been cleared, which can help reset the system's state. Flea power typically refers to the small amount of power that can remain in the electrical components, even after the primary power sources are disconnected. By releasing flea power, you are allowing the motherboard and other components to fully reset, which can be crucial for the successful recognition of changes made, such as replacing or resetting the battery.

This step is especially relevant because it ensures that the system starts fresh, without lingering data that could interfere with the recovery process. After releasing flea power, the system can then be reconnected to the primary battery and other components, preparing it for a normal boot process without any previous configurations affecting its operations. This practice minimizes the risk of errors and helps ensure that the changes made during recovery take effect properly.
