Can't find a new CMOS battery for my Toshiba.

[xxxvegexxx]

I have a Toshiba Satellite L500D 174 and I've been looking for a new CMOS battery for this specific model but I wasn't able to find one.
It is a 3V battery and it looks similar to this one.

Yes, I was unlucky enough to buy one of the few laptops that have the battery soldered to the mobo.

Well i'm not quite sure on how to replace them :-O, we'll wait and see if someone else knows of any solution. Yes very unlucky to have cmos soldered to the motherboard.

I have already bought a cheap tin welder and removed the old battery, now the problem is to find a new one.

All the battery's are the same so if you want to solder wires to it it should work but all cmos battery's are 2032. Hope that helps.

Today I bought a battery with the same size and voltage from walmart then I attached a copper wire on both sides and I soldered it to the mobo but the PC still won't boot.
It wasn't a 2032 because a 2032 would be too big.

It doesn't match the size of your other cmos battery? I thought cmos batterys were all the same size. Maybe try a 2025. All cmos batteries i've came across are 2032.

I used one of the same size and voltage and it didn't work.
