Dell Inspiron 5100 CMOS Battery

[piloteer]

For the life of me I can not find the cmos battery. Do any of you guys know where it's located or hidden ?

Sometimes dell motherboards have the CMOS battery on the underside of the mo-board. You'll have to remove it from the case.

I looked through the service manual and couldn't find it... maybe you will see it.

In my old 8600 it was right next to the main battery.

I'm pretty sure it's soldered to the motherboard on this one and is not easily replaceable.

Maryjane your comments don’t make any sense
It seems you’re just trying to gain post points
