I had a peek under the skirt to replace the battery and found some nice ribbon cable management.
Landon King
Not sure where the battery is though...
Henry Collins
Is it this?
Matthew Reed
Why open a machine if you are clearly clueless
James Garcia
'cause I'm getting paid by the hour.
Why reply to this thread if you are just as useless?
Benjamin Taylor
What will happen when one of the parts finally fail? Do you shop at ebay or something?
Adam Allen
*cracks*
Ahhhh
When the POST actually displayed information and happily beeped once to tell you everything was fine, those were the times
*sips*
John Ross
have you never seen a battery in your life before?
Owen Carter
yes.
Check if it's soldered.
I saw dozens of this with Socket7 cheap boards.
Some of this have a small battery and a RTC chip inside that cage, maybe you can open it and change the battery (it could break tho)
Grayson Taylor
This is your JOB? Someone is paying you to do this, on an hourly rate, and you don't know how to find a fucking CMOS battery?

Fucking google a part number next time
battery is built into RTC
Gabriel Hernandez
Now that's a big chip
Noah Lee
Pretty much. Right now I'm trying to source one of those with quicker shipping than 2 weeks (not USA, that's why quick shipping is such an issue ) and isn't like hundreds of dollars.
FUCK no. I'm not even the EDM guy.
John Gomez
Yes that’s it, go ahead and pull that right off and put it back on and it should work. Don’t worry if you feel like you’re gonna break something, you’re not, just give it a solid pull like you’re pulling out a key on a keyboard. Make sure the computer is off when you do it though, you don’t want to short the motherboard or give yourself a shock.
Kayden Butler
buy a new one and change it.
Hudson Lopez

Ryan Bennett
I gave it a good tug and it didn't budge. I'll pull harder tomorrow (off now). I didn't pull harder before because I was worried it was soldered in and I didn't want to damage the mobo. Yeah obviously everything was off.

There were corners there once. They were cut.

I'd love to see the power-on hours count.

IDE cables are so fucking ugly
Samuel Sanders
You can ignore it anyways
Cooper Smith
>caring about what the insides of your computer look like
hey, those broad cables would reflect your 30watts in RGB LEDs pretty neatly!
William Allen
To keep time when there's no power
Jeremiah Lewis
so replace the battery dumbass
Julian Gray
You can get ones that aren't ribbons
Nicholas Scott
They only came around when IDE was in its death throes, to make a quick buck of ricers who still didn't make the jump to SATA back in the day. And they were shot for all intents and purposes, IDE is not shielded so crushing the tape together into a narrow shrink tube was fucking all sorts of things up.
Thomas Hughes
>IDE cables are so fucking ugly
imagine giving a fuck about what a cable looks like? please stay away from all forms of computers and electronics. it is clear to us all that you're dangerously incompetent when this is a priority.
David Morgan

Erm, no. I have a couple of computers that have IDE drives, never had a single problem with those "thin" cables. Have some basic understanding of electrical engineering, and note how ATA/66 and later has 80 wires, to figure out why.
Angel Peterson
Yeah, the 80-wire ones were "shielded" by the extra wires but that doesn't matter when you roll up or crush the tape to make it into a "cable".
(You still checked them)
Justin Cooper
>"shielded"
Try "grounded", so as to not sound like pic related.
Josiah Allen

Call it what you wish, my point still stands, with many years of experience behind it.
