Hi, i have an asus 990fx r2.0 the thing is i broke on clip from one side that is holding down the CMOS battery so now, every time and turn on the computer i have choose boot options etc, cause i think is not doing completely contact. What can i do? i dont want to solder cause i dont know how... also, the clip function is making contact or just hold the battery down?

They have many types of holders, most of them have a clip on the side that holds and makes electrical contact. The second clip is under the battery and may be a spring or just metal contact.

If it is just bent, you may be able to bend it back. Failing that, you may need to replace or have it replaced.

This is a common holder type.

You can see the in this case one side touched the bottom on the batter and the other the side. Breaking either clip will cause it to not work any more.
