Help Replacing Mobo Battery

elh_2009 · 9 Aug 2009 at 13:41

My old comp has just started losing the time, ive read that its probably the mobo battery that is on its way out. Ive checked the spec and it has a TriGem IT865GE motherboard, how do i find out what battery i have in it? are they easy to replace and where would i find them? I will also point out the PC is about 6 years old.

Thanks.

PS ive not long built my own pc so im not a complete novice at putting things together.

CR2032 button battery, open the case and it should be easily visable on the motherboard.

ok thanks, i ordered some, would this battery work for all mobos? i have a ASUS P6T SE would they work for that? if so i can keep the rest for backup incase my one ever goes.

Thanks.

these are cheap as hell in shops like pound shops, warehouse shops etc
Tesco do them for about £3 for 2
