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.

Waiting clarification, don't hesitate to post.

Thanks and regards

Low Power Warning For Full Charged Camera Battieres

<span> <p>I have noticed that, some users asked that, there old cameras always display low power warning for full charged new batteries, or there will be a low power warning after only taking 5-6 pictures.<br /> <p>If you have met this question (I wish not), I'd like to share the solutions.<br /> <p><span> <p>The this problem are so common for <a href="http://www.digital-camera-batteries.net/canon.htm">Canon PowerShot</a> A series cameras when you try to powered your camera by Ni-MH batteries. This is because that, the camera judge the battery is power off by voltage of the battery. And if you use Ni-MH batteries for your camera, the Ni-MH batteries' voltage is lower than the Li-ion ones and close to the camera's judge voltage of low power, so the camera will warn you to change a new battery.<br /> <p>So if you use <a href="http://www.digital-camera-batteries.net">Li-ion camera batteries</a> this questions will be solved simply.<br /> <p>From <a href="http://www.pda-battery.ca/camera-tips/digital-cameras-low-power-warning-for-full-charged-new-batteries/">http://www.pda-battery.ca/camera-tips/digital-cameras-low-power-warning-for-full-charged-new-batteries/</a><br /></span><br /></span>

Does my 'phone need a new battery? It went flat last night (2 warning buzzes) and will not charge or turn on.

Mine had a similar problem and I was able to live with it for about a year, pulling the battery out and restarting it, but the whole phone just gave out on me the other day. If the battery is not too expensive I would just do it.

Why does the battery warning light stay on while driving

The battery warning light is triggered by the alternator internally. The alternator may be charging properly, however, the internal voltage regulator inside the alternator may have a problem resulting for the light to illuminate. There may be also a wiring issue from the alternator to the light causing the problem as well

Hi, I believe that your battery has an internal leak. Replace the battery with a new one also check the alternator that it is charging properly. Then you will be good to go.

This unit will not charge

If you try with another Motorola mini US plug charger and headset still doesn´t charge, it means that the internal headset battery needs to be replaced, maybe is less expensive to buy another headset than to change the internal battery of the one that you have.

Level Warning

battery level. charge it or replace it if it does not come up to full power state. the camera has a batter meter. refer to the manual and see if the battery is low. it requires you to push a few buttons while looking at the data window.
not really difficult.
the battery that might be dead or extremely low is the small battery that keeps the date etc, which is much like a large watch battery.its usually coin shaped, but on some models its a small version of a aaa battery only slimmer and shorter. not sure which that unit uses now.
if these are both ok, then you probably have a service issue
good luck
