Anything else I should > know regarding this little operation?? On the motherboard that you have, there is a coin cell battery near the keyboard connector. However, this has been spot-welded into place. But behind the battery there is a four pin connector labeled BATT for connection of an external battery. You can connect a battery pack here. You can get these packs at most any computer oriented store.
