Many motherboards take the CR2032 flat calculator style battery, but it may be worth diving in and and retrieving the old one to check for sure. If you are very unlucky you may find the battery of a different type and soldered to the board, in which case it's a more tricky job to do yourself. Regards.

Is this likely to be that I need to change the battery? If so how do I know what to get, and is it easy to fit myself? Thanks.
