John, I bought mine from Ebay. The item was shipped from Hongkong and it took two weeks to arrive. The plastic connector broke in mine and so I have to replace the whole thing. In your case, you should be able to just replace the battery. I may be wrong for your specific laptop but I thought you could still boot a laptop even with no cmos battery. If you could not then the problem may be something else. Noel On Fri, Jun 24, 2011 at 10:03 PM, John <jaytee(a)clear.net.nz> wrote:
Hi All, My old laptop just died and I strongly suspect the cmos battery. I wonder if it is possible to source one of these locally or manufacture something from the old battery that will do the trick. Link shows the thing in detail.
