Correction...

The CMOS battery is located under the system board, and is not accessible from under the keyboard.

The keyboard has to be removed in order to change the CMOS batter, (another reason why I don't like Sony laptops.)

Below is the batter I just pulled from a user's VGN-FS660\W SONY VAIO CMOS BATTERY LOCATION - 892cbd5.jpg

    I also found it under the keyboard on my Sony Vaio PCG-7142L. I'd like to punch the engineer who designed this location. Thanks for the help.

How to replace internal battery for Sony PCG-955A

If you mean the cmos battery you will probably need to take the laptop apart - if you are lucky it may be under the keyboard - look at the screws on the back and see if any show symbols for keyboards.

There is a vaio manual here.

Is the cmos battery on a vaio vgn-fe31m on the

Yes the cmos battery is on the motherboard.

Every motherboard that runs a computer has a backup battery to run the circuit while turned off. This battery runs the real-time clock (RTC) and is referred to as the CMOS battery. By keeping the clock active and running even when the computer is switched off, power up/down cycles can be logged and before the internet, your computer could keep dates accurately. It also serves to maintain the system configuration settings in BIOS memory based on RAM or FLASH RAM.

Does not Start..

Possible power cable fault, hard to tell really, especially if you ran the laptop battery flat, but it may be a flat cmos (bios) motherboard battery, also check that the hibernate switch where you close your laptop lid is not stuck down as this will dissable power up.
