    is the CMOS battery anything special in the M34, or can I get something off the shelf?

    Thanks in advance

    I have not changed a battery on that model but they all use a 3v Lithium cell
    Size permitting you should be able to solder if nessesary the pigtail connecter on to a genaric cell bios battery
    I have done this on cf-25s and cf-71s

    Just remember no soldering allowed on the replacement battery
    You can kill them with heat or cause them to explode
    Just solder and join the wires together, as the bios batteries for laptops are not clipped in like desktop batteries they have pigtails attached
