I watched your video about changing the CR2032 battery -- but my battery is BEHIND the reddish board -- half of the battery is above and half below (not in "open territory" like you show). Is there a way to maneuver this battery out or will I have to somehow remove this graphics card (the cable for the monitor is what plugs into this board which transects the battery)?
Thanks very much for any reply. The computer is a Gateway FX6800-01e -- the first FX on the shelves a few years ago.
Thanks for telling me the model of your computer. It really helps me to give better advice.
On your specific board you will have to remove the video card to get full access to your BIOS battery. Once you've removed your video card then you will see that there is a clip that you need to press and then your battery will just fall out.
ADAM, thanks-- it looked like this would have to be removed. But I, myself, have never removed or installed a board of any kind -- so I didn't wanna start "messing around" unless it is really necessary. I appreciate your help. Will let you know how I make out. Jerry in Pennsylvania.
