E1405 CMOS battery
in [Dell]
|
From: RnR on 16 May 2010 10:54 Is the CMOS battery under the keyboard? I forgot since I took the keyboard out last time. Also is there a good source other than Dell to buy one from? Do I need a part number for this? Just as a side note I was getting some erratic behavior. Had jerky sound and mouse movement just recently so I did several things nothing helped. Then I noticed my clock was slow so I thought of the CMOS battery so I flipped over the laptop and by accident opened the modem/blue tooth compartment and for no good reason pressed down on the modem. Now the clock is working fine but I still think the battery is the problem. Perhaps I just reseated it inadvertently while flipping over the laptop, who knows.

Thanks Chris for the link regardless. Of course you didn't know I had seen it because I didn't mention it. Thank you. Would you believe the thing is working fine since I supposedly fixed it <g>. I will still replace the battery since it's a cheap part.
