ASUS motherboard battery replacement?
A friend has an Asus P5N32-SLI motherboard. The battery
is held in a black plastic frame that grips the battery in four places, say 2-4-8-10 o'clock on the battery. At 6 o'clock on the battery are two little metal spring clips. I don't see how to get the battery out of the holder. The black plastic frame is an integral part of the assembly, the tabs parts holding the battery are part of the base. Stenciling on the MB suggest that maybe the entire assembly is to slide sideways, but I see no way to effect this. I am hoping that someone who has already faced this problem will read this and give me a clue. Thanks. |

According to this review: http://www.motherboards.org/reviews/motherboards/1650_3.html the battery for the P5N32-SLI motherboard is quite conventional. Is this what you're battery holder looks like, or is it something different? http://www.motherboards.org/imageview.html?i=/images/reviews/motherboards/1650_p3_14.jpg Push the battery towards the metal clip that makes the + contact and it will fall out over the 2 black plastic tabs on the opposite side. -- Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |

A voltmeter will tell all. My guess(tm) is that the two plastic clips on the side opposite the metal clip will bend out of the way, releasing the battery. Wrap some tape around the tip of a small screwdriver, shove it in the space between the two plastic clips opposite the metal clip, and pry away from the battery. The plastic clips should bend, releasing the battery. -- Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |

The plastic clips should bend, releasing the battery. There is simply no way the battery can come out from the top. The four tabs on the mounting are an integral part of the housing and cover too much of the battery to allow that. I'll try to find some place to connect a voltmeter, but the battery won't keep the date. It is five or six years old. Most batteries last longer than that, but, who knows? |

A small screwdriver inserted down the edge of the battery opposite to the gap on the other side, gently lever the battery towards the gap and it will jump out. Make sure that there is no power to the machine, because the battery can land anywhere on the mainboard. Fitting the new battery, insert the edge against the holder rim under the two clips opposite the gap, making sure that the battery is the correct way up, and press down until it clips into the holder. Job done... :-) -- Best Regards: Baron. |
