7559 RTC Power Failure

After disassembling and applying the thermal paste, my notebook light flashing (3x orange, 1x white).

I read that this means "RTC Power Failure" / "CMOS Battery failure".

The computer works normally as before (time and date are the same too). The only difference is that the light flashes.

What could be the problem? Should I buy a new CMOS battery? Or where can be a problem (notebook wasn't doing it before)?

Before buying anything, go back and make sure you didn't dislodge the connectors from the mainboard (this should have a wrapped CR-2032 with a two-pin plug on it.

After 3 restarts and twice turned off and on the computer, it started to work properly. I think turning off/on the computer was important.

Anyway, thank you for your reply!
