Staying on topic here …A Rooster Christmas story (sort of)
So I had this old Toshiba laptop that I kinda liked and still worked great with Win.10 but was acting funky along with clock and date not keeping in sync. So I determined it needed a cmos battery. Well this particular laptop the cmos is not easily accessible and requires complete tear down as it’s on the bottom of the mother board with no freaking door. So I finally said screw it, either I fix it or trash it.
Well after total tear down and labeling the screws and positions I reached the mother board only to find out that the cmos ML 1220 is a rare one. I located it on Amazon and placed the order only to be told it’s not in stock even though they said it was. SOOOOO I locate another one on Amazon in stock and shipped. I wait over a week and when I open it up they sent me a CR1220 which is readily available but will not work as the one I need is rechargeable. I ask them to send me the proper one, well guess what " it’s not in stock " and not available !!!
I think I have located the correct one on ebay but have exhausted all sources. In the mean time this laptop has been sitting in pieces on my dining room table and I really need the space for Christmas junk food and cookies as the kitchen counters are full.
So I decided to make an access point on the laptop and put it all back together until my battery arrives after the holiday. I even made a custom access door! I put it all back together and it still works just like it did but when my new battery arrives and hopefully the correct one I can now easily replace it. YES I took pictures!!!
I’m especially proud of my access door!!
