    It is on the top of the motherboard (under the palmrest area). You will need to considerably disassemble the unit to get to it. Service manual in my sig.

    Try to measure the voltage of the battery before you replace it. If it looks ok, then maybe it just wasn't making good contact and if you re-seat it, then it might work again.
