[SOLVED] Where is the CMOS located on Hp15-dy0013dx?

[HazAudit93]

Hey guys,

I keep getting a defective CMOS battery error on my laptop.
Problem is I've no idea where the CMOS is located on the board. I've taken it apart and haven't seen it.
There doesn't seem to be any online information as well available.
Much thanks

Google "hp 15- dy0013dx cmos battery technical manual" then filter to images:

E.g.:

Go through the images and look for a match to your laptop/mother board.

The CMOS battery should be on the motherboard.

Also look for "RTC" (Real Time Clock) battery.

Reference the following video:

And a variation

(Note that the battery has wires and a connector versus just the standard silver "disk" CR2032 battery.)

Key is that you correctly match your laptop (as the videos warn) to the procedure.

As I understand your post the laptop is all taken apart - correct?

If the above links do not help you find and replace the CMOS/RTC battery then take and post some photos of laptop's inner components.

Especially the motherboard.

Hopefully someone will be able to provide a more specific response regarding the battery and its' replacement.
