@@blakeblundell9001 thank you

This motherboard was in my scrap pile due to an unrelated issue, but it also happened to have a bad CMOS. So it was a good candidate to showcase the fix anyway. I’ve done this repair a few times on other motherboards where the CMOS was the main issue, and it did resolve the date/time issue as well as other power related problems.

It’s pretty easy to remove it again as long as you don’t try to get it super close to the motherboard when installing. I like to sit a bit higher on solder mounds in case the cmos that I installed was faulty (you can actually check if you have a multimeter and set a battery on the contacts of the motherboard)

@@blakeblundell9001 is there cmos battrey holder this small? just not convy it must be resholder to replace it again since this is a common problem

@@pepe-kh5bo they have a different location and the 2000s have a different design for the mounting points. The 1000s and 2000s have the same design

You could replace just the cell portion, but it’ll be harder to fit the replacement in there. The plates will be slightly bent from how the old one was attached and then you’ll have to use some type of tape to give enough pressure for it to work

@lundell9001 I mean I don't want to replace it but just remove and forget. I have a psp 1000 and getting random shutdowns and I suspect its cause the CMOS leaked. Also the 1000 has a capacitor not a cell like the 3000. No videos on removing the 1000 one, so asking around. I heard that just removing it will work fine, but I wonder if I need to actually desolder the thing, or just bent it and take it out.

3.3V 0.2F Super capacitor

I’ve got a Quick 861DW. I think I bought it on AliExpress, or maybe I got it off eBay

These are the ones, but you can find smaller quantities of them. a.aliexpress.com/_mqTzbLc

​@@blakeblundell9001 Thanks for help bro. You are the best!🎉

You can respond to these comments to contact me.

@@blakeblundell9001 I am very interested in a console on your website, do you think it would be possible if I can get a video of the console up close on the backside and front so I can see any marks or dings? Thank you!

Which listing in particular? They are all processed to order, so I’d have to finish it up first. I won’t have time until Sunday night or Monday.
