How to change a BIOS Battery Novatech Elite N1730 Laptop [NNB-X04285]

[Bob_C]

Hi all,
I have a Novatech Elite N1730 Novatech Laptop NB0 [NNB-X04285] whose BIOS battery needs to be changed as it keeps losing its BIOS settings.

Please could you point me to a service manual or a guide as to how I can get to the BIOS battery to change it?

Best regards, Bob

Thank you @COOPS, this was very helpful indeed.

I followed these steps from the attached:

Removing the Secondary System Memory (RAM)
Memory Upgrade Process

1. Turn off the computer, and turn it over, remove the battery (page 2 - 5), and component bay cover (page 2 - 14).
2. Remove the top cover module (Figure 12a).
3. Remove screws - (Figure 12a).
4. Carefully lift the keyboard up, being careful not to bend the keyboard ribbon cable (Figure 12c).

on page 2-16 to reveal the battery beneath the keyboard. I attach a photos to help anyone in future with the polarity of the replacement BIOS battery.

Afterwards, check the Date & time and click the “Sync now” button to correct the RTC if necessary.
