It is a silver, disc battery enclosed in a plastic encasing that presses two leads up tight against the battery. This battery is located under the top circuit board near the back of the computer. It connects to the top circuit board via a wire that crosses underneath the board toward the front of the unit and onto the top with a red and black cable plugging into a two-lead jumper labeled PJ2. Markings on the battery proper: Toshiba, Made in Japan VG2430 Lithium Battery VG2430 Rechargeable Red/Black wires are hooked correctly to the battery. It is probably the RTC battery.

Anyway, I tried re-starting the computer without this battery but it is still behaving the same way. On one other computer, a desktop, removing the dead CMOS battery allowed the machine to boot up as where with the dead CMOS battery it didn't come on at all. Is it possible that the failure of the laptop to boot-up is a result of having no electricity from one of the two internal batteries and that by removing the connection I am not making much of a difference in that the connection was dead anyway? And that by replacing one or both of the batteries the machine may begin working? Thank you, Elizabeth -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
