Unfortunately, not all CMOS batteries are removable; some manufactures will only allow a replacement battery to be added. If you're not using a coin cell battery and are not able to determine how to remove it refer to your motherboard or computer documentation or contact your computer manufacturer for additional assistance in removing the battery or how to insert a new replacement battery. Users with computers that do not have removable batteries have the only option to install a new battery will most likely also need to set a jumper when adding the new battery into their computer. Insert the new battery Once you have purchased a new battery, remove the old battery (as instructed above) and replace it with the new battery. Enter CMOS values Once the battery is replaced turn on the computer and resetting the CMOS values to defaults. After the values have all been entered make sure to save the settings before exiting. Many CMOS setups allow you to press a key (such as F10) to save values and exit all in one action.
