Am I able to access the CMOS (the small battery that deals with BIOS stuff) with this method?

Chaos Network -

Fantastic. Worked perfectly.

Gold Eagle -

Works great.

John Thuo -

Warning! Do not use these instructions! They are INCORRECT! There are multiple points where you have to release the keyboard, not just the one behind F8! Following these instructions caused me to tear up my F8 and INS key.

Jeff Burgin -

Might work, but there a much simplier way !

After taking the keyboard away, check the screws. 5 and only 5 of them say ‘Door’, these are M2x8. Only take these away.

Flip the Aspire One. No need to take away the three screws on the bottotm. The door is the central part of the back, it’s clipped. On the other side there is a small part labeled ‘Door Released’ press it, it will un clip the door, take the door away and there you go you have acces to the HD !
