Hello!

My trusty T20 has a bad CMOS battery :( . Please, could someone help me locating one?

Thanks!

eBay has them all the time.
If that is not an option, they are CR2032 batteries which you can get at most pharmacies/drugstores/photo shops.
You'd need to figure a way to connect the red & white wires from the motherboard to the battery.
Soldering is not possible on the stainless stell battery, but a 'flared out' piece of wire with electrical tape should do it.
You could try and remove the old flanges off the dead battery and use those.
Make sure you connect the red wire to the + and the white wire to the -.

OK, no problem at all!. I am used to work on electronics (just check my WEB :mrgreen: )

I thought it was a more exotic battery... but I have plenty on CR2032 at my lab, both with tabs and without them. Great :lol: !!!
