Low system battery voltage

Replace the CMOS battery. It's a CR-2032 lithium button cell, on the mainboard.

The battery costs about $3 anywhere - CVS, Target, Staples, etc. Unplug the system, pop out the battery, insert the new one and you're done.

If you do not replace it eventually your BIOS will lose its settings, and you'll have to reset the clock, boot sequence, etc., on every powerup.

Where is the battery exactly. When you say mainboard what do you mean? What does it look like, really small or is it big enough that i'll know what it is?

Also, do you think you could help me out here
