Hi

I have an Acer Travelmate 240 Laptop. At every boot, I get a checksum error, and the date/time are completely wrong. My guess is the CMOS battery needs changing. I was wondering if anyone had any idea how to access this battery. I have tried Acer support, but they just tell me to take it to a laptop shop.

I have tried Googling for a service manual, but all I can find is a parts diagram.

If anyone does know, or can point me in the right direction to find the neccesary info, I'd be most grateful. Thanks.
