I've taken this thing apart, removed everything but the motherboard from the bottom casing. Can't find anything that looks like a battery. Anyone have a clue?

I found it after countless hours of searching and you'll probably kick yourself in the pants too. It's underneath the motherboard where the hard drive slot is. So you'd take off the HD casing thing and pick up the motherboard there and it should be right there looks almost like a button to pants.

You were right on! I had already removed everything but the motherboard. When I did and turned it over - there is was - BATT1 - a soldered in battery. Thanks.
