CMOS Battery Failure

[darkx132]

I have an Intel G41 Express Chipset and it's been almost a year now since i keep getting this error. When i boot up i get the error :
CMOS Battery Failure
CMOS Time Not Set

Then the pc would boot up normally but the time was not set like what the error said. But since a few days my keyboard has also stopped responding from time to time and unless i use it in a different position(or hit it 😛 ) the keyboard doesn't work!
I've read some solutions that says i gotta reset CMOS.... is this the same?

The mobo has a round chrome button battery near the expansion slots. This supplies current to the cmos with the mobo bois settings. Take it out and replace with a fresh battery.

no on most mb there a cr203 silver battery about 7.00 for two from local walmart. turn your pc off unplug it from the wall for safty. use a small flat head screw driver and lossen the battery clip tab. the battery will pop up and pull it out. one side will have writing and a + on it make sure you put the new battery back in the same way.

Instead of doing this myself is it better to consult an expert.....? cuz i suck at fixing and modifying electronics

Edit: I also read on some other threads that we've to turn off some kinda switch a rocker switch or something but i don't see anything like that!

if you cant a local shop can do it in a few min and should be cheap. there no switch on the mb to touch. you may have read about a power supply red switch. dont touch that switch unless you want fry your pc. the battery pops out without any force.

You don't need any expert skill to change the battery. Just make sure that you unplug the power cable
