Where is the CMOS battery located on an HP Officejet J5780?

Is it the soldered-on type? Any advice on removal or breaking contact? Problem is non-HP cartridges, which have worked fine for months, suddenly no longer recognised. Hard reset does not cure.

HP OFFICEJET J5780 HOW TO GET SCANNER TO WORK

To get the scanner working this is what you should do. First, do not install the software for Officejet All-in-one J5780. Instead of this, install HP Officejet All-in-one J5700, you can get it from the HP website. I do not know why but this software makes the scanner work. You can then install J5780 which will delete some of the old files but will keep the scan file on.

Had problems with my compaq EVO N 180. Hp suggested I upgrade bios. During upgrade computer seized. Now it will not start. HOw can i jumper the bios.

You can attempt to reset Bios By Pulling the CMOS battery, you will need to disassemble laptop, Not sure offhand if you have a plug in battery or one thats soldered on... Basically in a laptop there are 3 main types of Cmos battery connections.. 1 is plugged in to the motherboard using a 2 wire plug... 2 is a battery tray on the motherboard that the battery snaps into and out of... 3 is a battery that is soldered to the motherboard from both the positive and negative sides....

With any 3 of these.. You need to remove the battery... HOLD the power button (make sure your laptop battery is removed as well and unplug the AC Adapter... )
Then Reattach CMOS Battery and reassemble and attempt to power on

Note: The Soldered On Batteries Can Be Desoldered and removed...

Do Not Remove the solder from the contact points!! You need to use a pointed flat tool and your soldering gun... Use your tool to pry the battery away from its connection pad... To Do This, First Heat the soldering gun, carefully heat the 2 contact pads of the CMOS battery, as your heating them get the solder to melting point and then quickly pry the battery off the board, heat the 2 connection pads again and pull the battery away from the motherboard.... You should have the 2 contact pads still with solder left on them...
