How to replace CMOS battery in Gateway model # SA1. 6332
The CMOS battery on the Gateway M-6332 is located either next to or underneath the WiFi card. With the laptop upside down, loosen the three screws along the rear edge of the panel next to the fromt of the laptop. Remove the panel and you'll see the hard drive and the WiFi card. There will be one or two Mini PCI Express slots. I've replaced the mainboard in this one, don't recall if the original only had one slot, the one I installed has two.
That's where the CMOS battery is, held to the board with a piece of double sided tape and connected by a pair of wires to a small plug.

The CMOS battery is located on the motherboard, just under the bottom left side of the keyboard, by the letter 'V". It looks like a clock battery, marked 3V (volts). The battery comes out of its "cage/connector" by gently lifting it with a small flat screwdriver. Replacement CMOS batteries are inexpensive and readily available at any computer shop. Hope that helps

It is just below the keyboard under the palm rest. Remove all of the screws from the bottom of the unit, carefully - from the left side, pry up the trim panel that has the power button (careful since the power button board is screwed into this panel), then remove the screws for the keyboard, slide it up towards the LCD to release it, remove its ribbon cable, you should be able to gently pry the upper and lower case halves apart enough to see the battery. The cases will NOT seperate!!!!!!!!! I then used a small straight blade screw driver to pop the battery out. It was a CR 1220 3v lithium coin type battery in my 7330GZ. I had to go to a specialty battery store to get one! Hope that this helps!

your Gateway computer is
switched off, it still keeps track of various system information such
as the date and time, thanks to a small battery that never powers
off. The size and thickness of a dime, the CMOS battery can run out
and need to be replaced. You can swap out a dead CMOS battery with a
new one by removing the Gateway computer's side access panel.

Shut
down the computer. Remove the power cable from the back of the
computer case. Disconnect the cables for the monitor, mouse,
keyboard, and printer.
Set the
computer case over on its side. Use the Phillips-head screwdriver to
remove the two case screws at the far left end of the case.
Slide
the side access panel to the left and remove it from the computer
case. Find the CMOS battery port, which will be located to the lower
left of the processor in most Gateway computer models.
Lift up
the plastic clip holding the CMOS battery in place. Slide a
fingernail under one side of the battery and lift it off the
motherboard port.
Check
the orientation of the new battery and compare it to the CMOS
motherboard port. Push the new battery into place in the same
direction that the old battery was facing. Push down the plastic
clip.
Set the
side access panel back onto the Gateway computer case and reattach
the case screws. Plug in the Gateway computer and power it on.
