Inspiron CMOS battery
My Inspiron 4000 does not keep time anymore, so everytime I boot it up I must enter the BIOS and reset it. So, I called Dell to order a replacement "Reserve Battery" for $9. Cheapest place that I could find this battery, even with the $8 shipping.
RaG At the risk of angering some Catholics, I'm just going to say it. The Pope is not infallible. He is human. Many people, Christians and otherwise, disagreed with the Pope not speaking...
Ok, I went home and opened the bottom of the laptop to see where the battery was located. According to the Dell site, it should be right there by the memory modules, sitting on a little silver tray. But... there currently isn't a battery there, and I never recalled seeing it there before.
So what gives? Is this a fix to a dead battery mounted somewhere on the mainboard? Don't really care if it is, but what concerns me is if there is suppose to be a battery there, where is it? The computer has always worked fine, keeping perfect time.
