Dell 1135n forgets date
Dell 1135n Multifunction Mono Laser Printer
I have a Dell 1135n printer. I know it is old and out of warrenty, but it work fine, untill a few months ago, when EVERY time I turn it on, it asks me for the time and date. I enter innformation it wants and then it works fine. But if I turn the mains power off and then later turn it back on, it has forgotten the date and time and I have to input it agian. Not a major problem, just anoying. Sounds like a battery may have gone flat, but I cannot find any information about a battery in this device. I can change a battery myself, but just need to find out where to start undoing screws to find it.
Any help on where the battery is would be appreciated.
If there is no battery, any other help as to what could be wrong would be appreciated. Thanks,

Yes, indeed it has a battery. It is 2032 lithium disk battery. This is on the main board.
You will need to take three covers off to get to the battery.
Take of covers in this order. Front then Back then Side.
The Side cover is on the left-hand side when one is facing the front of the machine.
First disconnect all cord from printer side of the printer.
Then I would take out the bottom paper tray completely from machine.
All the removal procedures of the 3 covers should be done with each cover in the up position facing you.
Front cover is removed by lowering it as one would do to replace printer toner cartridges. After it is lowered then press to one side at the hinge to take out the other side from the other hinge. This will take out the entire front cover.
The back cover has 5 screws that will need to be taken out first. You may need to move the top portion of the printer up a little, so the back cover does not pinch on the upper portion for removal.
The last cover is the side cover. This cover kind of unsnaps from the printer by lightly pulling out a little one side then the other. Again, the upper portion of the printer may need to be moved to not pinch the side portion you are taking out.
Your will see the main board with the battery. Just pop out the battery and replace.
Then reverse the cover procedure with side cover first, back cover next and the front cover last.
