If a replaceable small battery, where is it located and how much strip down is required to reach it.
Replaced the CMOS battery earlier this week as I kept getting the error on screen..
It's a simple 2 pin connector and a Lithium battery like CR2032 however a fair amount of disassembly required.
The battery is attached to the main board with a double-sided tape and is located on the other side of the Expresscard slot.
Laptop is designed well so even though you have to take it apart it's very serviceable - unlike today's laptops?!
The problem is, after I installed the new battery and assembled it all back the laptop no longer works..
I have rebuilt over 20 laptops so always work with ESD mat & bracelet, no silly mistakes etc and yet all I get now when I turn it on is the Power on icon on the small display, the Battery icon and a flashing ScrollLock icon but nothing else, no display fan etc.

Is there a way to fix this?
