Thanks so much for your guide post. I just finished replacing the CR2032 battery on my motherboard and could not have done it without your post.

larryrchrds whats symptoms did your Notebook have? Mine comes up with the charging light on, power light on but no display, no fan noise. if i connect the display to another screen nothing comes up either.The computer just stoped working out of the blue. Iam wondering if you experienced the same.

I had the same issue as edson. Replaced the CMOS and works fine now. Fantastic guide. I realise this is 3 years after the comment. But might be handy for anyone else with the same problem :)

Nice guide. Same symptoms!

Replacing the CMOS battery didn’t work for me, but I was able to reflow the GPU with a heat gun and my board started working again.
