want to replace #CMOS #battery in some old #laptop . researching #repair videos online, found some info for my models:
- HP Pavilion dv3, under wifi panel/slot, very accessible, need to check exactly which 2pin connector variant. doesn't seem to be completely flat yet
- Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo M 7400, seems to be under the keyboard, reasonably accessible, not yet had a look in mine to see which connector. battery is flat
- Asus W3N H004H, seems to be attached to the motherboard under the top panel (somewhere under the trackpad ish), but removing that seems to require lots of disassembly (video I saw for W3J model even detached the screen hinges??). battery is flat.
- Acer Aspire 5332, seems to be soldered to motherboard in some videos, battery seems ok
- eMachines 355 netbook, also seems to be soldered to motherboard, battery seems ok
- DIXONSXP Advent, no clue yet
already replaced the one in DELL P4 desktop (standard CR2032), have another desktop to check but I expect it to be trivial. expect my main desktop (new in 2019 iirc) to be good for another few years so won't touch it.
tips welcome, also recommendations for reputable repair shops in south #london uk that could do the tricky ones for me, and reputable online battery shops for the ones I can do
