Hi I have a satellite C55-B series with windows 8.1 and cannot get past the bios password to even try and boot windows up. My question is that I was hoping you may know the location of the cmos/RTC battery on the motherboard? I am hoping to locate it and remove it to reset the bios so I can fix my laptop. Thank you for any help
