Introduction

The CMOS battery is a separate small battery that keeps track of time regardless if things are powered on or off. A great indicator to when it needs a replacement is when the clock on your PC falls behind. When disposing the broken CMOS please dispose it by trusted source and not a false company.

Step 1
