HP Compaq 8100 small Elite for: CMOS battery change

What battery I need to buy to replace battery CMOS (lose the BIOS date/time).

All traps to replace?

@LechKL, welcome to the forum.

Here are the computer hardware reference Guide .  On Page 46, you will find a guide to replacing the battery.  Read this section very carefully.  In most of the computers battery is a CR2032.  The instructions state that you must use a spare battery supplied by HP.  However, you can us HP Partsurfer to see if they recommend a battery.

The process should be simple.  There are detailed photos to help you.

    I'm refurbing this machine and it does not have a CMOS battery on the motherboard support.  See where it should be, but looks like it was never installed.  There is a new technology that does not require a battery?

    Hello

    The CMOS battery (or RTC battery) is used to allow a computer to maintain the non-volatile memory Basic Input Output System (BIOS, IE).

    Whitout CMOS battery, the computer will boot but you may need to change every time you start depending on how configure you your machine. The function of RTC battery is not important now because a lot of people now use the timer/clock NTP or internet.

    Kind regards.

    Hello

    I have three, exactly the same thing, computers to Office HP/Compaq D530. The CMOS battery needs to be replaced on all three.

    Problem is that I don't know where on the motherboard is the battery. It's a motherboard very small size. It seems to be under something, but before I take the computer hand (I'm not a geek), it might be a good idea to know exactly where to look.

    Thank you!

  • HP Compaq 8100 Elite: Video unrecognized card in PCI-Express x 16 slot for security

    I disable the PCI Express connector in the computer - security - Slot Configuration on BIOS.

    I don't know that my card on Board did not work and now machine does not start, machine beeps 6 times (error video card).

    I can't access the bios.

    I try to reset the CMOS, remove the Green rider, remove CMOS battery, press the button within 10 seconds, press the power button (to remove rest of energy.

    But none of it works.

    Can someone help me?

    How can I reactivate PCI Express x 16?

    Hello:

    If your integrated graphics card does not work, and reset the CMOS does not work, you can try putting the PCI express x 16 video card, you now have in the location PCIe White x 4 slot (slot next to the slot PCIe x 16 black white video card) and see if you can get into the BIOS to change the PCI x 16 setting.  It might work in the x 4 slot.

    If it does not, you will need to install a video card PCI (the one that goes in one of the white PCI slots) and use it to get into the BIOS, so you can change the settings to enable the location of PCIe x 16.

    So see if you can find a cheap, used, video card PCI on eBay, and should allow you to have the video again.

    You should also make sure you have removed all the connections of the computer when you reset the CMOS (all cables, power supply, mouse, monitor, etc.).

    Use an adapter for your 2nd diet, it's what has worked for me.

    5.00 after all my research I've found the answer, it's not pretty, but it works.

    Plug one of your SATA power to branch (from your current diet) on the cable resulting, plug your new power supply ATX ATX plug adapter and you're good to go. When your old power supply switch on the adapter will turn on your new, it's great.

    Add2PSU is an adapter popular http://www.add2psu.com/

    You could buy a dedicated power supply if you can find one, but I recommend not, they are expensive, make a lot of noise and heat.

    It was a nightmare for me and I don't want other people to have to go through what I did.

  • Compaq Presario S4500UK won't start after disconnecting from the wall outlet. What is a CMOS battery problem?

    Reconstruction of recent software with HARD drive internal extra (March 2011) under Windows XP/Linux dual-boot installation worked fine.  CD/DVD RW drive, started giving errors so replaced cyclic redundancy check drive a week ago.  All still OK.  Change of electricity supplied and increases energy use conciousness off the machine to the outlet of the overnight after normal shut down.  Machine will not re-start not in the morning.  Not load BIOS; all lights came briefly and then die after 3-4 seconds with power still led on.  You can get a similar effect by plugging the keyboard into the PS2 Mouse Jack I did once!

    After 20 minutes or so try all kinds of things managed to boot from the CD of Linux.  Shut down/restarted and everything is fine so I don't switch off at the wall.  Also seems to be OK after brief power off for 5-10 seconds but the problem persists with any long disconnection.  It seems that after 10 to 15 minutes from power-on and 2-3 attempts to restart, BIOS comes up and all is well, but he stopped in the middle of a start of Windows or Linux on a couple of occasions.

    Am I right in thinking the problem might be the result of a dead CMOS battery?  The reason that I ask is that the clock seems to keep time OK and there is no apparent problem with the BIOS once it loads.

    Any help/advice would be much appreciated.  New config info below.

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    I don't have all the answers so I went forward with replacing the CMOS battery, but that did not help.  The problem is also obvious if I turn it off and leave it for an hour or more before trying to restart even if I do not unplug the wall plug.  It seems to take about 15-20 will start again before it fires.  I would be really grateful for any clues as to what is wrong.

    OK, guys.  I finally solved the problem.

    After you have calculated the power needed for the config curent, I discovered that, using various ways to estimate, he walked between 321W - 383W.  It was pretty weird that the only thing I added was a HARD drive and a memory stick and the wisdom of the other guys on this forum, it's that there is a lot of capacity within the factory installed power of 250W.  Yes and here's the rub: the modern replacement devices usually have upgraded capabilities and use more power.  And so when I replaced the drive CD/DVD RW added a few watts, as the sectoral approach of the floppy drive.  It appears also that the optical USB mouse needs more juice than the good old PS2.

    I just installed a new 450W PSU Powercool and Bingo!  The processor is faster, too.

    Hope that my pain and trauma saves someone else having to suffer the same.

  • Help for Satellite Pro M10 RTC CMOS battery replacement

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro M10 PS630E-G206C-FR
    Removing the main battery causes a failure message from RTC battery from the beginning to the top and loss of CMOS date/time.
    I tried to charge my main battery in full and then leave the machine in charge while it is turned on (I said it is a method for the CMOS battery)-without any result.
    .
    My questions: do I have to replace the RTC battery (ie: is it refillable welded or a CR2032 battery shows or similar).
    If a specific type, the best source?
    And also, where it is (I'm comfortable with disassemble my laptop having replaced the LCD cable already)
    Thank you

    Hi David

    Do you need help? What you mean exactly, step by step disassembly procedure? Maintenance manuals are not public documents and I'm really interested if anyone can offer assistance to you.

    When you want to swap the portable RTC battery almost entire must be dismantled. Believe me that is not the procedure of 10 steps and to do something like this, you need the disassembly instructions. I recommend you to check how it will be service charges because that when they disassemble the laptop they can clean at the same time and the laptop will be as good as new.

    If you want to do it yourself, it is very important to use authorized by Toshiba replacement batteries or real. Battery wrong installation may cause a battery explosion, or other damage.

    Please be careful about this.
