RTC Battery Location in Dell Latitude CPt Laptop
Hi,
I have replaced RTC (cmos) batteries on other laptops, but I could not locate the RTC battery in this Dell Latitude CPt V466GT (Windows 98se) laptop. I found the location of the 7.2 nmh battery (not the "main" battery) that is used as a "backup" (to save data), when the "main" battery runs low. Do you know where the RTC battery is located in this model laptop? Or, do you know where I can download a service manual that has that information? Thanks in advance, Brad Before you type your password, credit card number, etc., be sure there is no active keystroke logger (spyware) in your PC. |

Have you looked under the keyboard ? -- Best Regards: Baron. |

RTC Battery Location in Dell Latitude CPt Laptop
Hi!
I believe you will find that the reserve battery *is* the CMOS battery as well. If you are trying to clear a password, you may have to move a jumper inside the system or contact Dell. William |

Assuming the Latitude you have is the CPt V series, here is the
official service manual: http://support.dell.com/support/edoc...v/5169t_en.pdf William |
