Re: macbook A1181
no need to remove the mainboard. rtc battery connect on left low corner (near ram slot). ull find the write near it. it's also near to smc bypass with the always the same logo on remote controller to turn on and off things.
check voltage on 2 pins if they are around 3volt (for good rtc battery ).Comment
