Location of CMOS Battery in HP Pavilion N3390 Laptop

wrote: SNIP page 6-51, shows the CMOS battery is on the top of the mobo (not on the bottom side using the access panels) and sits vertically in a slot in the plastic of the case. In fact, it looks like you don't just swap in a CR2032 common coin cell battery but have to get one with leads and connector attached to it. I suppose you could do some soldering to use a coin cell you buy in a store. The service manual for the dv6000 at http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01035677.pdf shows the CMOS battery is under the memory access plate. Maybe you're looking for a coin cell slid into a metal retaining bracket, like in desktops; however, this also shows a replacement that has soldered leads and a connector so, if this was the case for you, then maybe you wouldn't recognize it as the CMOS battery. Hi Vanguard, I would never solder a wire to one of those "coin" batteries. The location of the CMOS/RTC battery in the DV6000 is terrific! Unfortunately, it isn't the same for my model HP Pavilion N3390. John |
