Hi guys, first time joiner second time poster,
ok so my laptop is dead (compaq presario m2000) looked on tinternet and narrowed it down to the motherboard, can't be the power jack as there is no loose wires and nothing else I can see that could be wrong, power pack works fine and the hard drive is fine, so Reading on this site I have been told It could be the CMOS batery and If I take it out it might work, so if I take out the CMOS backup battery put the laptop backtogether,
1: will the laptop even work with out this battery
2: what does this battery do
3: if it does work how long will the laptop last befor it goes bang
4: will this even work
5: has Anyone done this and what happened
Thank you all in advance
Danny
