Introduction

The clock battery (or CMOS battery) powers the laptop’s BIOS firmware, which is responsible for booting up your computer and configuring data flow. Replacing this part is not necessary for computer function; however, the laptop will not have the clock or date present at all on the laptop if defective piece is not replaced.

This repair requires no extraneous physical activity or advanced mechanical knowledge, nor are there any hazards associated with this repair.
