Re: Inspiron 4100 CMOS battery replacement

that seems like a lot of money for a battery.

should be much cheaper in my opinion. although i havnt bought a cmos battery in a few years.

It will be. The spookiest part of it is firmly but gently removing the

They're great to have when needed.  Good luck.
