the CMOS batt is located near the end of the board, along the edge. u cant miss it. normally its directly north of PCIx16 slot 1, or AGP slot 1. It has the CMOS jumper there. I hope u know that ur BIOS gets reset once u take out the batt. The batt should b universal for all mobos..tho i cant assure u on that. just take it out n bring to ur nearest hardware store n buy another. u cant open ur casing, how to take it out? :lol:

what do u mean by BIOs reset?

Ur BIOS is important if u DIYed ur pc. The chances are the person who helped build that PC configured the settings for u, and those settings would b lost. If ur sure no1 has ever touched the BIOS & messed with the settings, or if ur PC is a branded one, then dont fret. Since its the default, it would b default again :lol: Just need to set the time & date again thats all.
