Steps 6 to 12 explain how to remove the Keyboard and this is all that
would be required to see (or/and replace) the CMOS-battery (see Step 14).
The two danger points would be Step-6 whereby you might damage the plastic
part, the other danger (more important) would be at Step 10/11 where if
you don't understand the instruction, then you could damage the Keyboard
cable or socket.

BTW, I noticed in one of your pictures that it showed a date of 2010 which
suggests the CMOS-battery is exausted.

I'll buy a battery. But I don't think the little battery dying would stop
the PC while in use and plugged in - would it? The big battery I can
understand, but the small one wouldn't matter once booted - no?

I've since had another look at what I thought was a 2010 date and now
realise that I was mistaken, it was a 2018 date.
