Pre-removal Steps:
- Disconnect any external peripherals and cables
- Disconnect the AC power adapter
- Remove the battery
Remove the screw securing the memory door. Pry up the memory door near the screw hole, lift it up and remove it as shown in the picture 1.
Disconnect the coin cell cable as shown in the picture 2.
Remove the coin cell battery as shown in the picture 3.
You would be able to replace the coin cell battery
Please reply if you have any further questions.
Thanks & RegardsRathish C
