OK I just realized he was talking the 110ct and not the 50/70ct on which I was basing 
my description ... having said that I'd imagine it would be the same though, the 
insides of all the Toshiba laptops I've seen (including some really old ones) all have 
some clearly identifiable place to put the RTC battery (not to say its labelled but 
that it looks like a hollow or a box or something like that molded into the plastic 
thats just the right size for it). Anything from an expansive Tecra (which has a box 
for TWO batteries, one is probably a backup to the RTC backup?) to a tight Portege 
(which simply has a cutout in the circuit board on 2 sides and a plastic barrier on 
the other 2) have such a position for the RTC battery. If the battery just looks like 
its sitting on top of a circuit board and free to move around then thats most probably 
NOT where it belongs.
