Locate CMOS battery Lenovo Y570

I'd like to replace the CMOS battery on a Lenovo Y570, which is losing time and showing other symptoms of CMOS battery failure. No sign of it in the hardware maintenance manual or any disassembly videos I've seen. Where is it?

    Another response says it's under the hard drive, and I know that is easily accessible. I'll know soon enough if that response is correct. Thanks.

    Well, thanks everyone. I discovered from a Lenovo tech that my laptop has "new technology," which the tech seemed unable to explain, that has replaced the physical battery. Imagine! Now who knew that? Thanks.

It should be on your motherboard. You have to carefully disassemble you lap top .. Removing all Usb,Battery, and external connections.

U need a small screw driver to take it apart.

Leave your computer on for a day. If your need specifics let me know!

Try going into the BIOS of the laptop, usually by hitting the ThinkVantage button on startup, and checking the date and time settings to match those of your cellphones. Usually this happens when the date on the BIOS doesn't match the actual date.

How do i remove and replace the cmos battery

If your computer is losing its time or date settings, or you are receiving a message CMOS Read Error, CMOS check sum error, or CMOS Battery Failure, first try leaving the computer on for 24-hours. In some cases, this can charge the battery and resolve your problem. This fixes most CMOS battery issues on computers left without power for several months. If this does not resolve your problem follow the steps...

Cmos battery error failure

The CMOS (BIOS) battery keeps the computer'a comfiguration and the Date & Time settings in the CMOS (BIOS) chip in its memory. When the CMOS (BIOS) battery is flat these configuration information is lost.
Replace the CMOS battery with a new one, in most cases this battery is a lithium 3 volt battery type CR2032 and it is coin size battery 18mm in dia.(check it to make sure the type of battery is installed on your motherboard).
When you replace this battery then go into the BIOS and set the Date & Time etc.

How to change mainboard battery?

Most PC users don't think much about the CMOS battery until their computer shows signs of losing its BIOS settings on boot up. If you tend to upgrade rather than replace your PC, replacing the CMOS battery every couple of years makes sense.
Likewise, if you purchase a used PC, battery replacement is a good idea unless the PC is less than two years old. It's just one more preventive step you can take to prevent troubles in the future.
If you have never replaced a CMOS battery before, you can find step-by-step instructions below.
In most cases, frequent CMOS errors are a sign of a dead battery. The CMOS battery maintains your settings while your PC is powered off. You can easily replace the battery yourself.


Instructions:
  1. Boot your PC and enter its setup mode.
  2. Write down all of the settings from the various BIOS menus. Click this link to learn more about this procedure.
  3. Power off your PC.
  4. Open the case of your computer

  5. Locate the battery on the motherboard.
    cmosreplace_4.jpg Figure 4. Battery location on the motherboard. The layouts of the components differ on different motherboards, so you'll have to consult your motherboard user manual for specifications about the battery and its location.
    This is a close-up view of the battery on the motherboard.

  6. Obtain a replacement battery from a local or online computer parts dealer.
  7. Remove the old battery.

  8. Replace it with the new one, as shown on the picture below.

  9. Document the date of replacement for future reference.
  10. Replace the case and power on the PC.
  11. Enter the setup mode of your PC.
  12. Reenter the settings you have written down from the various setup menus.
Tips:
  1. Don't forget to observe proper anti-static precautions when working inside the case of your PC.
  2. If you can't see your battery right away, try removing expansion cards or unplugging cables. The majority of newer motherboards use lithium batteries that look like large watch batteries.
If the battery is already dead and you receive messages saying "CMOS checksum error", skip Step 1 and Step 2.

Do any lights come on when you press the power button? If not, did you get all the cables reconnected properly? If lights come on or fans come on when you press the power button, then it sounds like the screen has gone bad. That is the symptoms you are describing.
