Laptop CMOS battery

[jimgriff]

Greetings one and all,

My laptop needs the cmos battery changing and I cannot find it anywhere. Any (serious) suggestions?

Time to google up a service manual methinks. Have done it for a few machines and had success, but not saying that the manuals are available for newer Lappies.

Mind you, there should be a fairly local PC shop/repairer that has a sense of humour or can forward to a dedicated laptop fixer if needs be.

If you can let me know the exact model, I might be able to find something for you if you have no joy.

Thanks for the reply, I ended up pulling it to pieces and finding the battery, All gone back OK and now works fine with the new battery installed.

Bloody computers eh!!!

JG, just check the screws that hold it together after a week or two. They are often made of nylon that stretches slightly to ensure a tight and durable fit, but are meant for a life of only one "screw" (Waiting for the comments) They have possibly lost their elasticity and may work loose.
