Replace plastic-wrapped CMOS battery? M14x R1
My CMOS battery needs to be replaced. I found some YouTube videos showing how to disassemble the laptop, but I am not sure what to do once I get to the dead CMOS battery. The video linked below clearly shows the CMOS battery at timestamp 13:55 and the battery appears to be connected (soldered?) to two short wires, a black one and a red one, and then all of that is wrapped in blue plastic.

This video shows a similar CMOS battery, except with black plastic (timestamp 7:55): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmKygQGDHws
The computer's manual says the CMOS "coin cell" battery is a CR-2032 watch battery. So I bought one of those. But the one I bought isn't conveniently wired up and wrapped in plastic, so how do I connect it to the computer?
My computer is an Alienware M14x R1 laptop.

The YouTube video you posted, can you get to the CMOS battery when following the video from 8:40?
Thanks in advance.
