CR2032 batteries are common ones for many electronics and can be found at the jewelry counter in any discount or drug store for $2-$3.. Directions to replace are HERE. Replacement requires disassembling the computer so be be sure to follow all safety directions.

For $2.39 including shipping, I bought 5 of the CR2032 on eBay from a USA seller.  :emotion-2:  Needed it to test out an old Sharp Electronic Organizer that took 3 of them.

Thanks for all your answers.  I know I have to take everything apart to safely change out the CMOS battery.  Hopefully that will go well.  The last time I serviced the laptop I almost damaged the CPU fan, jerked one of the pin wires off the power connector but managed to seat it back into the connector after fiddling with it, like threading a needle.

At least the CMOS battery on this model is right below the keyboard, on top of the system board.

I finally got around to replacing the thing.  Only bothered with it so I could re-sell it.  Fixed all sorts of problems.  Thanks for everyone's help.  That guy selling five Sony coin cells for $3?  He's the man.
