Superb video. Replaced my CMOS battery in 6 minutes; my system now boots.
Tell Lenovo to give you a raise.
Almost 4 Years later, this Video Helped me. So i got this problem my keyboard's Power Button went malfunction. I cannot power up my Laptop. Here is the solution i found from the Internet : You must unplug the CMOS Battery (That Round Yellow thing in this video) and plugin AC Power cord (Power Battery Bar must be removed first). Your laptop will boot, enter the BIOS by pressing F2 and then look for Power Management or Power. Enable the feature power on when AC Power Cord connected. Press F10 Save & Exit. Reassemble your laptop and then power on by pluggin in Power Cord from the AC Adapter. Your Laptop will automatically Power On. I know the simplest solution is to get a new keyboard, but if you dont have the budget for that, this will help save your day.
thank you very much! you saved my nerves
If i turn off my notebook with shutdown. Can it turn on again with that way?
And thank you very much you are very helpful
I thank you a ton this worked for me , I had switched off my laptop for I guess 4 months since this pandemic started, and it wouldn't turn on then I had to do this to save it, I assumed it was dead forever, you saved my laptop thanks a lot.
Where did u get the backup cmos battery in India, what was the price.
When pushing back the trackpad part, lift the machine and take a look at it horizontally (from the front), see if there are gaps, mine had to be pressed down pretty hard.
I had no replacement yellow battery pack thingy, but of course an aftermarket battery will work just fine. The yellow jacket and the wire connector are not (easily) removable, so I advise some duct tape magic.
thank you very much, because of the guidance of this video my laptop recovered. Hopefully more successful 😊👍🙏

perfect video. Thanks.
Wouldn't it be nice if Thinkpad's put the clock battery in an easy to access place?
it is in the easiest access place of the machine.....
@@escapetherace1943 I said clock battery not the laptop's rechargable one.
Buenisimo, me sirvio un monton. Gracias
Nos alegra muchísimo Uriel, para todo lo que necesites, siempre atentos, Jhoiver_Lenovo.
Thanks
Can i turn on my laptop without the cmos battery?
Yes, a laptop should be able to POST and boot without a CMOS battery. You will probably get date and time errors and have a BIOS that forgets settings. It really is a good idea to get a new one if you can.
On my X230 (flat BIOS battery) I have to press F1 and set the year every time otherwise it won't boot (without big battery). I let Windows set the day, month and time via the internet after which is less effort. If you leave the big battery attached it works fine.
Does changing your battery pack with a new one (9 cell) improve battery life? Thanks
Hi! Thanks for reaching out and sorry for the delayed response. In terms of battery capacity, it will improve by changing the battery pack with a new one, but the battery life will still depend on your daily usage. Hope this helps. Erica_Lenovo
@@LenovoSupport Hi my battery is 29+ if i replace it with 29++ or 44+ it will not explode?

If I installed/upgraded new RAM from 8GB to 16GB do I need to reset the CMOS using this method? Since I was facing many Blue screen crash and could not find the source

You can easily analyze the crash dump with a program called WhoCrashed which might explain if it's a driver issue etc. It sounds like you bought defective RAM, check it with Memtest86.
LenovoSupport Thank you for replying, however I have done a reset, I changed the RAM, did MemTest and looked up with whocrashed and still the blue screen kept coming, so decided to just return the new RAM and leave it until I buy a new laptop!
Thanks for getting in touch and updating us. Just checking to see if everything's okay. We can provide help with almost any issue related to your unit. You may contact us anytime for any questions. Cy_Lenovo

I have a X230
Will it reset the bios like new ?
Will it have any affect on my data?
Hello Yugal Sharma! Resetting the bios shouldn't have any effect or damage your computer in any way. Hassen_Lenovo
It has happpen to me now so what can i do please
Hi, turned off my X230 yesterday and today tried to start but nothing happens. Just the batery light on top (not power switch) blinks three times. Tried all hints (30 seconds power button, turned on / off WLAN, reseated RAM (just each one / changed slots). Nothing helped. I read about "Lenovo Emergency Reset Hole". Does the X230 have one? I could not find one. Was my last hope. Any other hint? THANBK YOU in advance!
Hi enzoenzinho3156. Thanks for reaching out, and we're sorry to hear that you're having trouble. Could you tell us more about the issue, since when it started, were there changes made prior? Heart_Lenovo
@@LenovoSupport Hi and thanks for your answer! I didnt change anything. I switched it off after work yesterday. Today in the morning when I wanted to start it - nothing happens. No fan, no boot (not even BIOS). Nothing. Just when I put in the charder the green battery light flashes 3 times.
I tried all hints I could find. TRied several chargers, with / without battery. Pressed the power-button for 60 sec, pressedit 10 times and held down. Changed RAM modules and last but not least I removed the CMOS battery (did not start without and put on charger.
So, my last hope was this "Emergency Reset Hole". Searched for it (even with a lupe ;) - didnt find. Have you any idea, any hint, what I still could try?
Thanks so much!
Hi enzoenzinho3156. Thanks for getting back, and we're sorry to hear about what happened. Is the caps lock responding when pressed? Have you tried to call our support team about this? Heart_Lenovo
@@LenovoSupport Hi, no nothing happens. I can press whatever i want.
No, didnt try to contact support. i dont have garanty anymore.
What is really strange: 6 months ago i had exactly the same with my T560p. Switched off in the evening and next morning didnt start again. Used my T430 (which was my reserve, 5-6 months saved in safe). Loaded the bazzery, switched on and worked as i am used by TP. After 3 days working without any problems the same: next day didnt start too. And now the X230.
I dont know how many years (decades) i used my old T60, T500. Sold after many years pf working without any problems. Loved TP T series and recomended to many friends, clienzs. But now I lost 3 in less than 1 year :( Maybe should give another try, other company after being a IBM·Lenovo fanboy for 30 years 😭
Hi enzoenzinho3156. Thanks for getting back, and we're sorry for the inconvenience and to hear you feel that way. Can you provide the serial number of the device via PM/Dm, so we can check how to further assist? Heart_Lenovo
My t460 has a ssd and 16gb of ram memory but when i start to power on my laptop it takes time before showing the lenovo logo on start up boot..do you think thats because of the cmos batt?plese let me know and thanks!
Hi Rani! Thanks for reaching out. We're sorry for the trouble. Are there any changes/updates prior to this issue? Please try checking updates from Lenovo Vantage and install all updates including BIOS update. You may click this link lnv.gy/3s9Rkyd for guide on how to do it. Kindly check Windows Update and make sure it is also up to date. -Jomz_Lenovo
@@LenovoSupport yes im always updated and all including the bios and drivers but nothing changes and after watching your vid.i just thought that probably the cmos has something to do with it..dont you think so?sorry for the ignorance and thank you!

My laptop say problem eroro critical battery do you think the bios is the problem
Hi Salah! Thanks for reaching out. When did the issue start? Are there any recent changes or updates prior? Does the same error appear while the charger is plugged in? You may try to update the BIOS if there's an available update to check if the error will disappear. Erica_Lenovo
When I remove the battery the laptop don't work
Hi! Another help here. Just to verify, does the laptop immediately shut down once you unplug the charger? Could you provide the model number of the laptop for us to check? You can also send us the serial number of your laptop via private message on our Facebook page or via DM in our Twitter Page. Here's how to find the serial number lnv.gy/3dvfiao - Mark_Lenovo

My X230 has some problems turning off or go to suspend mode correctly. Same problem with Win 10 and Linux, also Win 10 shows time incorrect after changing BIOS options before it can sync with time server again. Another computer manufacturer support page tells corrupted BIOS might be the reason and backup battery reset would be the only way to fix it. Any advice before I try changing the battery on my X230?
Hi there. Thanks for writing in. Have you tried checking if there are any Windows updates that needs to be updated? Also, have you also tried checking the BIOS version that your laptop is using right now? Ash_Lenovo
@@LenovoSupport Thanks for reply. Both Windows 10 and Linux, Ubuntu, are up to date, BIOS has been reset to original settings from options. BIOS is the latest 2.77 for X230. Windows seem to be able to go suspend mode and shut down correctly if only a short while, few minutes, have passed since last bootup. Restart works fine.
It's a minor annoyance that I can't use suspend mode to keep programs open and computer has to shutdown by holding power button. It just started doing that about a year ago and I understand 8 year old computer might need some spare parts this time.
Thanks for sharing those details. We'd like to clarify, are you referring to Sleep Mode? Ash_Lenovo
@@LenovoSupport Yes, in Windows Sleep mode and I suppose Linux Suspend mode means the same thing. I did try turn off hibernate and fast startup with no help to my problem.
