RTC/CMOS Battery Location in WinBook XL2 Laptop
 
Hi,

Note: I am a TV, etc. (not computer) service tech.

With limited disassembly of my WinBook XL2 laptop, I was unable to locate
the RTC/CMOS battery which needs to be replace.

I failed to find this information on the web. My "User's Manual" does
not provide this information.

Do you know where this battery is located?

Thank You in Advance, John

PS, Remove "ine" from my email address

Gee, Google gave me about 420 hits, many with useful information as to
what it looks like, and where to buy them.

I took a look at
http://www.geek.com/hwswrev/hardware...winbookxl2.htm.

When I got to thinking about it, It already has a big lithium ion battery
for main power. Then why would it need a separate little battery to support
RTC/CMOS. Desktops don't have a big battery to run on so it needs a little
one to remember the setup configuration.

Of course, I could be wrong. That has happened before.

For those times when the lithium battery was either dead or removed?
Just maybe? g
