ASUS Zenbook UX305UA CMOS Battery placement?

[ventrikolo]

Hey!

As a part of trying to reset my computer as it suddenly turned off now give no sign of life whatsoever (no light, no nothing) I want to remove the CMOS battery as a last resort of reseting the computer. But the only tutorials I can find in doing to is another type of setup of the ASUS Zenbook UX305. That one have a visible CMOS battery.

The UX305UA seem to have a different setup. I can't seem to find it. Does anyone know where its placed?

This would be a last resort before sending it in to ASUS with a warranty that just a couple of month ago ran out.

Greatful for any help!

Well....in my experience...even if the CMOS battery was dead....the PC should start.....so I don't think a new CMOS battery will solve your problem.

They should be very similar in design. The suffix usually only denotes either configuration or region.

I've been checking those videos and its not the same on the interior. Check the pics of mine:

I just can't figure out where to CMOS battery is. That's the last thing I want to check before sending it in.

Yours looks identical to the video I linked. The battery is probably on the opposite side, under the keyboard. Sorry, I can't find a decent picture or disassembly guide of the UA version, specifically, for reference.
