hehe ya well there is the real world and then there are certification
tests, lol :)

PS and ya -- that machine I mentioned with the RAM soldered in was one
of the first 386s. I waited an extra month for a chip that would break
20 mhz. Whee. I feel really old now. Time to go find me some prune
Heh. I was trying to send this at the same time you mentioned it being
soldered on but gmail confounded me again.
A soldering iron usually fixes those pesky problems. The better answer is:
Ask the user: "Why are you still using such old tech that has a mobo
with a non-replaceable battery? I bet y
And the answer is: yes, once upon a time, maybe late 80's, they did
solder stuff like that into the motherboard. And if it went dead, you
would have to er, unsolder it or whatever. Did not work well and
people soon saw the flaw in this manufacturing detail.

yeah but the question asks what you should do if a *built-in* battery
goes dead. I am assuming that if it is built in it can't just be
popped out. Though whether anyone even would HAVE a built-in one in
this day and age is a whole other question.

With most computers, the Battery keeps the computers BIOS Settings current.
If you remove the battery, then everytime you shut down the machine you are
forced to reconfigure the BIOS from it's Default factory
settings(if you made any changes to it). This was true with a Gigabyte
motherboard that
..It's a watch battery.
You just pop it off the motherboard and replace it with another store bought
battery of the >>>SAME VOLTAGE AND TYPE<<<
:)
There is a little model number on the battery itself.

Special thanks t
mind you I am not sure that it *is* ancient but that's the sort of
stuff they used to do isn't it? The RAM in the compaq I bought in 1990
was soldered in...

thanks guys but note that the question is *built-in* battery. So you
would not be able to replace it I would think? And if it is completely
dead would the computer even boot? I realize this is ancient
technology we are talking about here.

Ummm, you should be fine... All the battery is for generally is to keep the
clock ticking when the power is off... CMOS is on a Flashable ROM so its
stable.
Besides, when you change the battery, its like the thing goes flat as there
is no power for a short period...
The worst case is that you ha
It's that time of the season. Another question, if y'all would... if a
*built-in* CMOS battery goes dead, what happens? I think you are SOL and need a
new motherboard. but I can't seem to find this explicitly spelled out anywhere.
Does this ever even happen any more? Smells like 1987.
