Is it difficult to replace, can I do it, is it expensive.
Replacing the CMOS battery is pretty simple and a new battery should not cost you more than about 5 bucks.
HERE is the direct link to Dell's procedure for changing the CMOS battery
you can probably purchase the battery from an electronics store like Radio Shack, Fry's or your local PC repair shop.

No, it's not difficult. Just open the case and locate on the motherboard a round (about 2cm diameter) battery, like the one at the electronic watches, a little bigger. Push the little metal holder to the side in order to set free the battery. With the old battery as a sample buy a new one from a shop at your area, it is cheap enough.
In case of a problem or clarification, don't hesitate to post.
