laptop & cmos battery
Any people here have experience replacing the cmos battery of a laptop
themselves? I might have to try that in the near future. I suppose it is a day's work... or more? -- |\ /| | \/ |@rk \../ \/os |

Some of them have full maintenance manuals available online and it doesn't take long to do it with the best designed ones that make it easy to change stuff like that, its often just taking one of the covers off the bottom and changing the battery in there. With others you have to pull the whole laptop to bits to expose the motherboard etc and that can take a lot longer. |

laptop & cmos battery
I haven't replaced a battery, but I can tell you that replacing a hard
drive for two different Acer netbooks was super easy in one - just pop the back, and hell in the other -- horrible hell. So it could be the same for the CMOS battery. -- Ed Light Better World News TV Channel: http://realnews.com Iraq Veterans Against the War and Related: http://ivaw.org http://couragetoresist.org http://antiwar.com Send spam to the FTC at Thanks, robots. |

I just did this a few week's back for my Dell Inspiron 1545. At first, it didn't look like it was going to be easy at all and then I found a video explaining a possible shortcut method. I employed a variation of the video method, and had the laptop ready to go in about 10 min. It would have taken probably at least an hour or the regular way. Although I used a shortcut, I never advise anyone doing this unless they are quite competent in electronics to start with as it's too easy to destroy something perfectly good. Not sure what laptop you have, but Youtube can be your friend. Sometimes it can take quite a lot of digging to find the wanted info. Many times, laptops will be essentially one circuit that is used by several manufacturers under different names, but the key is finding out which motherboard/ circuitry are being used. Not always simple. Good luck in your task. |

On some of my laptops, it is easily accessible under the memory-slot or other slot. In laptops it is usually on a cable, not in a socket or soldered to the mainboard. If you cannot getone with matching connectors, the easiest solution is to splice wires and insulate with some heat-shtinking tubing. Arno |
