Hi there,

Its me again after a long time. How are you guys, borax, Sam, Asingh, Jas bhai, piyush ?

My friend has a AMD PC with A7V400Mx Asus Board and AMD Sempron 2400 proccy. His battery is gone kaput recently & he wants to change it. Where can we find the type of battery so as to ask the vendor for new one , I mean what type of battery it requires ?

How do you know that the battery has gone kaput.
BTW go to any PC Shop and ask for mobo battery. Take the old batttery with you to show them.
It will cost not more than Rs.30-Rs.50.

I think it's easy. Date and time of the system keeps resetting. And you have to keep pressing some key, like F1, to continue booting, post BIOS.
Isn't OP?

Just pull out the CMOS battery, it is listed on it. CR2032 for example.

OP >>

To REPLACE the battery you will have to pull it out!:sad:

Take it along with you to any WATCH shop or COMPUTER shop, they will give you a new one similar to it.

I think that it is a typo mistake ! (bolalam ? means what ?, or sentence is grammatically incorrect.)

He might be trying to say that rates told to him in this thread were more (30 - 50 rupees) wereas he got it for only Rs 15/-:smile:

^ No problem. Your BIOS settings will not be saved. You have to change your settings manually (date and time, sometimes SATA settings) and save after installing the new battery.

Its ordinary wall clock battery and all the bios settings will be saved only if the CMOS battery is there or else those settings wont save.

It's the CR2032 battery in most cases.
