| 1417399 | 2016-03-12 21:22:00 | I've looked under the only two removable panels on the underside (HDD & memory) and from there on, I'm stumped. I'm reluctant to remove the entire bottom cover, in case I hear one of those 'sproiiiing' noises that signifies an irreversable cock-up, my bluetooth hands-free did that during investigative surgery a couple of weeks ago and we are no longer on speaking terms! Cheers Billy 8-{) :confused: |

Guess which one you have ;) Have a look at the Manual :eek: www.manualowl.com On the left you can scroll through the index and it shows you how. Starts at Chapter 4 Page 230. The actual Battery is Page 279, but it needs to be stripped to get to it. |

I now see that it is not just a matter of dropping in a 2025 or 2032 lithium cell. The battery system is two cells in a prepackaged pluggable format, which makes me think that the battery is a rechargeable unit, not disposable. The complexity of the installation procedure would seem to support that supposition, and then there is the question of availability and price? Cheers Billy 8-{) :groan: |

The RTC battery charges when the computer is powered on . To recharge the RTC battery, plug the computer into a live electrical outlet and leave the computer powered on for 24 hours . . manualslib . com/manual/330336/Toshiba-Tecra-M5 . html?page=120" target="_blank">www . manualslib . com |
