While rebuilding my PC I ended up with a BIOS Error Q-Code 00 which is a memory error
There are lots of sites that will tell you how to resolve the issue with the last step bing to remove the CMOS battery if all else failed
Unfortunately all else did fail so time to whip out the battery.... except it's nowhere to be found and no amount of searching the interweb would reveal it's location
Time to take a long breath and accept the reality, time for the motherboard to come out and take it to bits, removing all the covers, shields and anything else in the way
As you would imagine the secret place that ASUS decided to hide the battery was in the last remain place I could look, the back of the ethernet ports.
The pics below will tell the rest of the tale.
What a pig of a job and thanks ASUS for a really bad design.
