Turn the laptop on its top and open up the cover over the memory slot on the bottom of the laptop. This is the one that has the type of operating system listed on it and is directly underneath the cdrom or other ultraybay device on your machine.. You will see two little wires leading to the edge of the opening. GENTLY pry the little plastic connector from the connection and then pull the cmos battery out from under the lip of the opening (the battery being on the other end of the two little wires from the connector).. THere is sometimes a small plastic 'holder' to hold the actual battery in place. The battery is just a lithium -ion 'coin' battery and can be purchased on e-bay for next to nothing.. Replace the battery by reversing the steps and power up the computer, set the time and date and reboot.

Sorry thought I would try it to be sure , I see IBM(Lenovo) have not improved the FTP site its still almost impossible to connect used to only allow (100) connections worldwide lol

Use a download manager or FTP program and link to here ..

Hi Simon As already suggested always do a search before asking questions it will learn you how to not only meet new friends with same problems , but aid you in future with others searches and how to chnage a word here or ask it a different way ,.. lol anyways here you go

I suggest that you download a Hardware Maintenance manual from www.lenovo.com. (Lenovo own all of IBM's PC assets now.)

Second next time why not try a search before entering a new question as I answer similar questions to yours about twice a month.
