How to replace CMOS battery on Satellite A30-504?

i have big problems with my satellite A30-504...it does'nt see the HDD on boot, my only solution so far was to press the power button for many times.
My HDD is ok so i think the problem is with the cmos battery but i dont know how to find out what type it is and how to replace it.
(ps. sorry my english, i'm not an english speaker)

Hi Adrian
CMOS battery is always placed an awkward position and to exchange the battery the unit must be disassembled. If you didnt done this before please dont do this alone. A small mistake and you can damage plastic cover of the unit.
I recommend you to contact service and let them do this for you. It costs a little bit but you will be sure it will be done on professional way. When the unit is disassembled it can also be cleaned from the dust.
Back to HDD: how you know HDD is not defective?

  • How to replace iphone battery

    How to replace iphone Battery?

    This can only be done by Apple or a certified repair shop - in fact Apple would probably simply replace the phone (at a cost) as they do with iPods. It's a big weakness, but it's the cost of the snazzy slim design. I think they must be gambling on most people upgrading their phones every year or eighteen months.
    Having said that this site provides information on doing it yourself for an iPhone 4 - I don't know whether there similar sites for the latest models - but I am not recommending that you do this: you would find it tricky at least, you might well damage something, and you will get no help from Apple if you do.

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one with a new battery for $79. They do not fix yours.

  • How to replace RTC(CMOS) battery in Satellite A50-432

    Hi to everyone!
    I've a SA50-432: which Satellite model is my notebook?
    I should replace the rtc (cmos) battery.
    Should I open all my notebook? Or which parts?
    Thanks!
    Ale.

    Hi buddy
    In order to replace the CMOS battery you will have to disassemble the whole notebook.
    Do you really want to risk this?
    I mean the whole notebook should be disassembled in the right direction and you should use the right tools and right order
    This is not easy and I would say its impossible without any additional manuals and hardware experience
    I recommend contacting an notebook technician this would be the best way because such disassembling is really tricky and there is a high risk that you would damage some other expensive parts like motherboard or display
    PS; Why do you want to repalce teh CMOS battery? Did you try to recharge it again?

  • How to replace CMOS on Satellite 3000-514?

    My laptop won't boot anymore (though the power lights come on) and I suspect the CMOS needs replacing.
    How do I open and replace it in my Satellite 3000-514?
    I tried dismantling the back, but got stuck.
    Any help?
    Thanks.

    To be honest I don't think CMOS battery is responsible for this.
    I had old Tecra notebook and I didn't use it last 3 years. When I wanted to start it there were no problem, just message that CMOS battery is empty were shown. When you connect notebook to the AC power supply after 48 hours the CMOS battery should be loaded again.
    In your case it is probably some hardware related issue but it is not easy to say what can be wrong there. Maybe is BIOS corrupted, maybe is CPU defective. Who knows?

  • Replace CMOS battery

    I have a Satellite M35X-S349 laptop and it appears the CMOS battery is dead.  When activating the power switch, the hard drive attempts to load but then stops.  The BIOS will not load, which makes me think that the CMOS battery is dead.  I need a service manual or someone to tell me how to get to the CMOS battery.  Any info will be appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Need to find the cmos battery on Satellite Pro 2100

    I have a laptop that isn't keeping date/time settings and I need to identify the laptop to find the correct instructions for taking it apart.
    The make is a Satellite Pro SP2100, model number PS210E006P9-EN however I'm unable to find this make/model on the Toshiba website. The nearest I can find is Satellite 2400-103, Part Number : PS240-014T1 which looks identical.
    I've tried using the Toshiba identification tool to detect what the laptop is but that fails to provide any results.
    I also need to find what the power supply is for this unit as the current one is faulty and has wires exposed.
    The current adapter with it is PA3201U-1ACA, the problem is this adapter has got another adapter on the end to fit in the power socket in the back of the laptop. The connector at the end of PA3201U is too thin to fit.

    Hi
    This notebook is very old and the name of this machine is: Satellite Pro 2100 PS210E
    > I have a laptop that isn't keeping date/time settings and I need to identify the laptop to find the correct instructions for taking it apart.
    Usually the CMOS battery can be charged. You have to connect the AC adaptor and the notebook should be powered up for about 12-14 hours.

  • Which replacement CMOS battery do I buy for my HP G6 Series?

    I need to replace my CMOS battery. My laptop is a HP G6. When I search the product number it comes up as a G6-1b60us. The only new CMOS replacement batteries I see listed on eBay are for HP G6-2000. Will that CMOS battery work for my HP?  I see listed ones that are for HP G6-1000, but they are all used. Is that the one I have to buy? Thank you very much.

    Hi, Part number is : 449137-001 as shown on page  49 of the second manual on the following link:     http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-Pavilion-g6-Notebook-PC-series/5082228/model/5128909/manuals/ You can buy from HP or:    http://www.amazon.com/HP-449137-001-Battery-real-time-clock/product-reviews/B002GPKBRO (Actually it is a CR2032 battery). Regards. 

  • Replacement CMOS battery for Equium L40

    My CMOS battery is dead, can anyone advise where I can buy a replacement from one.
    Thanks
    Adrian

    Hi
    Im afraid the RTC battery is soldered to the motherboard. Dont think you could remove it easily.
    What you can do is to charge the battery.
    In order to charge the RTC battery successfully, the main battery and AC adaptor have to be connected to the notebook. Additionally the notebook has to be powered ON for about 18-20 hours.
    By the way: its a NiMH RTC battery supports 3V output voltage and 14mAh capacity

  • How to replace broken monitor on Satellite M40X-251?

    Hi guys !
    This laptop fell from a desk and the monitor is completely messed up. Nothing else seems to have been damaged and it still works fine on an external monitor. I'm looking for a replacement monitor and instructions on how to replace it.
    How much would a Toshiba 15.4'' widescreen TFT 1200*800 monitor cost and where could I get it?
    I can't seem to find a manual explaining how to dismantle a Toshiba M40X laptop in order to replace the monitor. Could someone give me a link to such service manual or guide me through the process?
    Thx in advance !

    Found these instructions, I believe they would work for a M40X but if anyone can confirm :
    http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/ToshibaM35X/Satellite-M35X-display-1.htm
    And the resolution is 1280*800 not 1200*800, little mistake.

  • Monito stopped working when i replaced cmos battery

    on an older computer i was asked to fix i  entered BIOS and while trying to change the boot order i deleted the hard drive from the boot options completely and couldnt get it back. So in an attempt to fix that i took out the cmos battery and put it back in. the monitor now  has a check signal cable message up whenever i turn the computer on.....ive tried different monitors and cables resulting in the same thing.

    Smo1898, welcome to the forum.
    When requesting help you should always include the make/model of the computer and/or monitor. This information is necessary for us to review the specifications of them.
    This is a strange problem.  I can't imagine what removing and replacing the CMOS battery would have to do with the monitor losing its signal.  Have you tried reinstalling the driver for the monitor?

  • After Replacement cmos battery R40

    Good morning, i have i Thinkpad R40 to repair. He has a problem with date and time.
    I replace the cmos battery with ref  panasonic cr2032 lithium battery ibm p/n 02k6541 fru p/n 02k6572.
    The battery is good, I replace the cmos battery  but the problem is still the same.
    The computer don't keep date and time.
    Thankyou for help

    richk read my mind, I know I've seen a post about exactly that point somewhere, but can't find it.
    The correct FRU for the CMOS battery is 92P0991.  If suspicions are correct the one you have fitted is for quite a lot of ThinkPad models, but the R40 had the same battery with reversed polarity.
