Take the battery out (the bios battery)
When you do things right, people won't be sure that you have done anything at all
Yes, a little silver calculator type battery on the motherboard.
yeah guys its a laptop no bios battery on them
IF IT DONT WORK USE A BIGGER HAMMER
Can you reflash the bios or do you need access to the bios to do this? Not sure with LG laptop though.Originally Posted by puca
I thought a lg 500 was a mobile phone

of course there is,how do you think the bios holds its watever
only problem is, you gotta pull whole thing nearly apart to find it.

Hey Phil, how come laptop cmos batteries last so long... i've gave my brother an old Dell about 6 years ago that must be about 10 years old (Pentium 133 that used windows 95 originally) cannot remember the model, but it still works and touch wood, no cmos battery probs to date..........
very good question grasshopper
probably same reason why a old p2 motherboard still works with same battery?
i dont know why,im not into electronics or laptops
but i do know,if you pull the sucker apart you will find one
as we done it one day with a mates that happened to have a bios password on it. was a real mission,but got it done

Often found soldered or have a small connector to the mobo.
green or blue in colour usually.
not a button cell.
Yeah like atsro said not a button type, one dell lappie i looked at the other day had a larger cylinder type -
Maybe this is why they last longer?
I've not had a recently made laptop apart to find out what sort of battery they have.
I did pull an old monochrome laptop apart back in the 90s and it had a Dallas Realtime Clock module - small black thing that looked like an oversized IC which apparently has an internal battery.
I could find no information on the net about it at the time but discovered that by briefly shorting two of the pins on it I could get it to reset the BIOS.
First of all find out what brand of BIOS you have - AWARD, AMI etc then go to this page:
Some very useful tools there that don't require you to even open your unit up.
