solo 2150 cmos battery replacement

Archived from groups: alt.sys.pc-clone.gateway2000 (More info?)

Hi,

I am going to have to replace a dead cmos battery in a friends solo 2150
laptop. I have searched the net with no luck for disassembly instructions. I
haven't got to see the laptop yet, but I would like to know what I am up
against. Has anyone in this forum taken apart a 2150? Is it straight forward
or are there 'hidden' screws and stuff?
I love laptops but desktops are so much easier to work on.

Than you,
Yvonne
