Hi! I read all the posts about removing the MoBo Motherboard to get to the Battery so, I could replace it. I am having the same problem with the Computer not recognizing the monitor, keyboard etc. Also, I have the messages at Start Up (Check for signal) I cannot get past this! So, I thought I would try to see if I could replace the Battery. Now, I removed the MoBo however, I cannot for the life of me find the battery. Could someone possibly direct me to the right location of this Battery? Windows 98, Corsair is the Brand Name on the Tower. Thanks so much! Terita

Hope I'm not "teaching you to suck eggs" - the CMOS battery is usually small (0.5cms 
in diameter) and round. As you say, on the MoBo.

here's a typical picture . . . http://infotech.indiatimes.com/Tech_News//Inside_Your_Motherboard/articleshow/11979841.cms

Surely no one here would say anything so foolish.
It should be much easier than that.

If the system is VERY old, the coin cell might have tiny legs and be soldered in.

Oh My! I found it! No, the system isn't too old, it is 1999 system or that's what it says on the parts after degutting this thing to find the battery! Ha! Thanks for the responses though! This is really a great site!! Love it, reduces my stress level. Giggle. Terita
