Hi, I have tried to locate the cmos battery for replacement in my Acer Aspire 5715z, but can only find a small thumbnail sized battery which is "soldered" onto the motherboard? unlike most cmos batteries I have come across in the past which are usually held seated in a little clip and can simply be slipped out and replaced. my question is: have I located the correct battery? which if it is! would require expertly re-soldering upon replacement? the battery I refer to is located in the bottom right hand corner of the mother board when the laptop is in the turned over position, it has a blue plastic tyre like outer cover and is held in place by a metal terminal clip (front & back i.e. + & -) which appear fixed to the faces of the battery, the ends of which are soldered onto the motherboard - many thanks for your help.
