Battery replacement SX 1

[nabberigu]

Hi everyone. I was looking for some info to replace the memory battery in a SX 1 LE . I couldn't find info on the forum or I might not be looking on the right spot. I have my SX 1 open at this time to replace the fans and update my ram and I thought I might as well replace the battery.
My questions are: "What type of battery is used and were to locate the battery"?

Harrie,

I'm guessing that you have already replaced your batter y by now but in case you haven't it is a CR2032 button cell and it is located on the motherboard. It is the round metal battery in the black retainer next to the blue connector in the attached photo of my bare spare board . You have to dive into the machine to get to it but it's not to bad a chore.

Thanks for the response Russ. I did already replaced the battery and added the extra memory stick. Put the whole thing back together and everything works fine. So now I have a SX 1 LE with upgraded 160 GB hard drive, 512 memory and a fresh battery.

Yeah most things are well thought through with the SX 1. The only problem is that I always have screws left over after I operated the inside. So many different screws to keep track off.

I think I'm beginning to see that I need CMOS battery replacement. Or NURAM When I turn on my machine it says
Check System Health: ?
Main Processor: AMD--Durin(m) 850
Checking NURAM .. No NURAM.
262144KB OK

Wait...

CMOS/GPNUChecksum Bad

Press F1 to run set up
Press F2 to load default values and continue

Can someone help me by telling me how to fix this. I like thus machine and I'm satisfied with the work I have produced on this. Please help.
