Dudes , the part in question sounds like a "Dallas" RTC. These are a combo
rtc & cmos battery. Some MBoards have provision/connections for adding a
replacement battery, the clock is still OK. Still others don't and the chip
has to be replaced by prying it from the socket or de-soldering it from the
board. Be careful as there ARE several different chips that look exactly the
same, but will cause a non-boot situation.The usual "retail" is about
$20-$30 US at most 'puter shops (CompUSA, EggHeads...). HTH
