Well...I have a HP Pavilion dv6-7029wm and the connector to the bios battery broke off when i gently tried to disconnect the batery so i could put new thermal past on the APU. Right now there is no way i can reconnect it. But it would seem the laptops battery is saving all the bios information. If i pull out the main battery the clock will be reset. It is bugging me so much...but i dont want to risk harming the motherboard by melting it back on. Is it ok with the bios battery disconnected? Will it affect my computers gaming performance? It is detecting all its hardware on Boot and is having no issues its just bugging me
