    Hey Guys,

    I have a friend with an acer aspire 5920 and it is showing major symptons that the CMOS battery is dead.

    So, does anyone know what kind of battery it takes?? And has anyone done it before??

    Thanks!

    It is most likely a rechargeable battery , you will have to remove it and look for a part number to get a replacement.
