    I have to do this for some really old computers that use a Dallas RTC/CMOS chip that.has cmos battery combined with the RTC chip. There is a tutotial online that shows just the right places to grind into to get to the chips internal battery connections and then just stick a coin battery in a holder on top of the chip. Google it.
    Done a few of these.
    Thanks for sharing this info!
    I do have an old DIGITAL Alpha Server that has one or two of these.
    Luckily, however, I found a bunch of NOS Dallas chips like that at my former workplace last year and they were also destined for recycling, like many other old things we had these. So I have a NOS pack of several of these ATM.

        Gigabyte motherboard GA-H110M-S2PH (rev. 1.0) DDR3 | Boot loop and 5 beeps
        by vallllliiii
        Hi, last month i bought a broken pc that i tought i can fix for myself but it turned out to be time consuming. The pc turn on and shows no display and beeps 5 times and restarts again and again, i think it s the motherboard because i tested/replaced all the parts except the motherboard. The pc was used mostly for light gaming and i think it wasnt overclocked or something. I tried all the basic fixes(cleaning the ram slots, removing the cmos battery, reseat the GPU/CPU/RAM). I think the last thing to do is to replace or repair the mobo but i prefer to try to repair because i don t want to spent...

        -PQ102 MDV1525URH

        Asus ROG Strix Scar G533qm with a G733qm Motherboard, can I modify the Bios to accept G533 Bios
        by glovecaps
        Hello,

        I have a Asus ROG Strix Scar 15 (G533QM) that had a dead motherboard (Graphics card dead) and after trying to fix the motherboard with no success, I bit the bullet on a sale for a new motherboard. I ordered a motherboard for the 15 inch model which is the one that I have, and when the motherboard arrived it wasn't for a little while that I saw it was from the 17 inch model.

        My question is, can I update the Bios on this G733 motherboard to a G533 Bios.

        The reason for wanting to do this is that the keyboard isn't working as it should, and I think this...

        Legion Y540 17irh motherboard issue ( need help to know how to diagnose my motherboard)
        by Docus
        Hi everyone 😀,

        I'm here today to ask for help with repairing the motherboard of a Lenovo Legion Y540 17IRH.

        To give you some context, I'm passionate about computer repair so much so that I've invested in a lot of tools and started practicing on dead and old hardware. I've been learning how to solder and desolder components, mostly focusing on phone repairs.

        Recently, I bought a broken Lenovo Legion Y540 17IRH for just €150, and there are two main reasons why I made this purchase:
        1. I already own the exact same model, but its plastic chassis is badly damaged.

        HP Envy 17-3290NR 3D Blank Screen - motherboard Louis V1.1 6050A2489901
        by Archimedes
        Subject is a blank screen issue in HP Envy 17-3290NR 3D version laptop with motherboard Louis V1.1 6050A2489901 MB-A02. Production year is 2012. This one is a 2nd hand motherboard which I could use it for few months only. Suddenly no output from the internal display and also no signal from HDMI port then Windows out of order after few boots.

        Caps lock working normally and no HP's caps-lock warning blinks. Making a hard reset and replacing the RAM sticks or using different slots didn't help.

        Fans are spinning. Blindly could install windows11 and got the device manager...
