    Recently I picked up a Toshiba R100 off of ebay. It's a very nice little machine, and I like how I can pop off the extended battery when it's drained. I believe that the CMOS battery is dead though, and I'm having trouble finding a replacement for it. Can anyone suggest a website where I can pick one of these up?

    What does the battery look like? Has it got any markings.

    It may be a standard lithium battery.

    toshiba notebooks usually have a green battery.
    Not a standard battery that you may find in your desktop.

    The battery is rechargeable. Just take it out and charge it to just under 3v.

    But first test it with a DMM.
