I just found the battery, inside a chip. I got a new chip and installed, but must have fouled up as computer does not boot anymore. Bought another used computer, this time with exposed battery that I can replace. cheers and thanks. sam555

Thank you for your help Phaelax. Much appreciate your time and efforts. I received my adapter earlier than I was suppose to, in fact this morning. Turns out I was able to open the program using the win98 hd. At least there is no 13 opens left before I have to register it. I went into program...

I have an ACER AP5C with win98. Cannot find the battery, none. Won't boot, says battery low, hit F1 to resume to bios. I measured Jumper 15, .01 volts. Jumper 13 measures 5.05 volts. Any ideas what is wrong? Is there any way I can transfer my 2003 Quick Books and data from quantum ex HD win...
