    Does anybody know where in the NP8660 the cmos battery is?

    As per this thread: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=382080
    and this one: http://www.xoticpcforums.com/showthread.php?t=4117

    Basically.. I tried changing ram, forgot to take out battery. Now my computer wont start up at all with or without ram in it. The fact that it won't give me anything at all without ram in it makes me think the ram may not be the only problem. Somebody suggested I reset the cmos battery, which seems like a simple enough job... except I can't find it and the manual doesn't help at all.

    If anybody has any other suggestions, I'm open to them too but even without ram the computer should run a self diagnostic right? I'm getting nothing.. just the power light for 5 seconds, no beeps, no picture, nothing.
