Hi All--
I'm thinking that I need to replace the motherboard battery in
my computer. One of the real die hards here. I have the old 685
Orlando board. The other day I experienced a funky situation which I
thought meant either the motherboard was toast or the Hard drive was
shot. Long of the short of it was, after several repeated tries, I got
a cmos battery message. It has since been working OK, oddly enough but
I think I should replace the battery. It has the Mr. Bios bios on it.
What is the procedure? When I pop the old battey out, will I lose the
bios recognition, the bios settings or what? I'd appreciate any
pointers here.
Thanks--
Bill
