CMOS is the NVRAM for the BIOS, not the battery.It's neither.Using CMOS to refer to the NVRAM/RTC is just as dumb as using it to refer to the battery. I'm not sure why it's become known as 'CMOS', but if I had to guess it's because they were the some of the first chips in computers built using CMOS technology.To spell it out: CMOS is a way of making transistors used in integrated circuits (aka 'chips'). Pretty much every single chip in every single device you have is a CMOS chip.
Calling the NVRAM 'the CMOS' is like calling your car's fuel tank door 'the metal'. 'But it's made of metal'. Yeah, so is the rest of the car.
Most of them are actually soldered into the motherboard. Every vio i have opend has had the battery in a heat shrink sleeve with 2 wires coming out to the +/- connector.90% of the time you have to take the whole back off to get to the battery. They do this on purpose so the bios cannot be cleared easily by a thief who could remove the battery to get past the owners password.if you want to replace a battery which is unlikely as they last for 7-10 years on the vio you have to take it to a shop where they can replace it professionally.
You can take the lappy to the same place and they will reset the bios for you at less cost than removing the battery. Most of them are actually soldered into the motherboard.

Also there is this 1 time password thing i get when I enter in the bios pw 3 time incorrectly.
If you get the password wrong 3 times the lappy locks up semi permanently. You will defiantly have to take it to a shop then. Taking it to a shop is the best idea. Your then covered if something gets broken which is easy to do when dismantling a laptop. Well more to the point when you put it back together theres always a chance of a crimped ribbon or similar which will render it useless.also if you still have the reciept the shop owner wont give you any funny looks when you hand it over for repair.

The battery apparently looks like this- disconneted that for about 10 seconds and put it back, but when I started up the computer the bios password was still there.
