New Computer?
jeffreyab
The CMOS battery on my old 1997 computer died.
Any suggestions on how to best replace it?

The one time I've had to replace a CMOS battery, it was easily available at the local electonics store, Radio Shack.
I'd pull the battery and then call around to see who has one of the same type. The numbers should be on the back of it.
Good chances you've already done this, but I figured I'd offer help if you hadn't yet.

Problem
There is no obvious CMOS battery on the mother board.
