From: jaugustine on 12 Mar 2010 08:10 Hi, Note: I am a TV, etc. (not computer) service tech. With limited disassembly of my WinBook XL2 laptop, I was unable to locate the RTC/CMOS battery which needs to be replace. I failed to find this information on the web. My "User's Manual" does not provide this information. The "User's Manual" page 9.14 indicates that a separate lithium ion battery maintains the system clock (etc.). Requires replacement. Note: The main battery is defective and is removed. I use this laptop with the AC adapter. Do you know where this battery is located in my laptop? Thank You in Advance, John PS, Remove "ine" from my email address

I do not believe most laptops and netbooks have easily replaceable CMOS batteries like desktop computers do. If this is true in your case, you will need to do some dissembling of the laptop. Not an easy task if you do not have instructions and proper tools. Do a search for information on the dis-assembly of your laptop. |
