My Inspiron 4000 does not keep time anymore, so everytime I boot it up I
must enter the BIOS and reset it. So, I called Dell to order a replacement
"Reserve Battery" for $9. Cheapest place that I could find this battery,
even with the $8 shipping.
Ok, I went home and opened the bottom of the laptop to see where the battery
was located. According to the Dell site, it should be right there by the
memory modules, sitting on a little silver tray. But... there currently
isn't a battery there, and I never recalled seeing it there before.
So what gives? Is this a fix to a dead battery mounted somewhere on the
mainboard? Don't really care if it is, but what concerns me is if there is
suppose to be a battery there, where is it? The computer has always worked
fine, keeping perfect time.
