Ok a very small flat head screw driver will work on a 6-7 side star screw... Thats the good part

the bad part is that i have no idea where the hell the cmos jumper or battery is, can anyone throw me a bone on this one. It is a compaq presario 700.

Ok guys I found the battery Now this is VERY important!

Do i have to power up the laptop while the batter is out or is just pulling the battery out then putting it back in then replaceing everything enough.

Reason why: I DONT WANT TO HAVE TO TAKE THIS DAMN LAPTOP APART TWICE!

Thanks
