Where the #### is the clock battery on IBM T43 Thinkpad.

I bought a battery and was told it was under the keyboard. I have
removed the keyboard, hard drive, cd drive, memory, and main battery. I
dont see it. Where the #### is it?

It's a nickle sized yellow disk with wires, but I cant find it.



Thanks to both of you guys I was able to find it and replace it. It was
under the palm rest, which comes off after the keyboard. 13 screws
total.


You'd think they could make this easier to replace!

These companies don't give a hoot how easy it is to maintain their device.
I'm surprised the screws were a Phillips head instead of a Torx drive when
few people have those screwdrivers.


Or worse yet, security Torx screws with the pin in the middle (thank you, Compaq).

I wanted to change the headlight bulb
on my car and it took removing 20 screws and half the front end to get to
it. To change a bulb ???

This may sound pessimistic but I consider it realistic : Everything is a
piece of garbage, it is just a matter of how bad. If you think it is good,
it isn't ; it just sucks less than everything else !

Anyway, glad you got it done.

Cheers,

Particularly when those screws are so tiny that I had to buy magnifying
glasses to see them, and work on my bed in case I dropped one. (easier
to find on the bed sheet than on the floor). Either way, the job is
done till next time it goes dead.

Thanks again!!!!
