Hi! Where the !&&* is the CMOS battery?

Hi, I’m sorry but I don’t have an image of the CMOS battery! It should be located on the motherboard though.

See my reply below. There isn’t one.

Hi, I think there is no CMOS battery on this motherboard. See https://vinafix.com/media/asus-x553ma.11....

I can vouch that there is NO CMOS battery on this laptop. I now own one from a friend who had it condemned by another ‘repair tech’. It turned out that the display connector was not secured properly. Anyway, having stripped it down completely, i decided to replace the CMOS battery before putting it back together & there isn’t one. On the underside of the board is an area with white plastic in the shape of a button battery. On reassembly i noticed the CMOS had lost the clock memory. Which i put down to disconnecting the battery. It must be powered when the battery is connected & not separately.
