Just for clarification, when you reset a cmos battery, you have to disconnect the cable from the battery to the board (not shown in this video, disconnected a different ribbon cable that went over the cmos battery cable.) One recommendation for this process is that you do not need to physically remove either of the batteries, just the connectors from the batteries to the board. Also, after disconnecting the batteries, I recommend pressing and holding the power button down (as if to start the system) for between 20 seconds up to 60 seconds. This should dissipate any stored electrical charge in the system (it will not ground out all capacitors) and should help assist and prevent problems of getting the system to start again/correctly after the batteries are reconnected. There is a more scientific explanation of this purpose available but I'm trying to keep this simple. ;) This process can and should be used for any system in this manner. Cheers, hope it helps your troubleshooting needs!
6:07 "and that's it" dude you've done nothing, you should've unplugged the cable from the cmos battery xD Thanks for the video tho! i needed to see the internals :)
A good practice when working with tiny tiny tiny screws is use a micro fiber TOWEL on the work space. If a screw drops it land on a none bounce surface. Cut a 4 x 3 card board make indent with Driver. the number of screws that . When it removed stick in the indent. then if you drop, move them they are stored in one place! HOPe it helps With replace all parts to original state. THKS...
@5:40 Mommy no, please make the bad man stop, he's scaring me! :'( It's not a 'cap', it's a clip! Release the clip first, _please_ ! It's a ZIF connector - _zero insertion force_ ! Flat-flex cables and surface-mount ZIF cable sockets are _extremely_ fragile and _will_ break! It's the same as any time you have to do something inside any kind of computer: if you have to force something then you're doing it wrong and you're likely to break it!
Hi I've bought an used one on Ebay and after some windows update it no longer recognizes my password, and I don't have administrator privileges to install a software repair from a usb key that I downloaded from DELL ... Windows troubleshot does not give me the option to reset the pc ... I don't know how to reset the Bios for the administrator password...what can I do? I'm going crazy
Replace the rear cover and be more careful in the future. I know that's not helpful, but realistically there isn't any way to repair such a small piece of plastic if it gets snapped.
+Brian M well, for the tablet in the video it worked, but I then did the same thing on another one and it didn't work. Not sure why, maybe with the second one I didn't remove the CMOS battery long enough?
Hip-IO Thanks my friend and why I asked is that I got the same advice, did the same thing, even managed not to break any clips, but when I put it back together, same problem. I left the battery disconnected for about 5 minutes as I had to take a call, so longer than I'd even planned and the issue is still there. I think it's more than the CMOS battery depending on the individual device, it might have other problems.
Hip-IO Ok, thanks, I should do the same. I was going to try the process one more time, but there's no point. Btw, thanks for the demo and the information, it's been very helpful. 👍

just replaced battery with help from ur video. Screen time back to 8hrs now.
Thanks
Glad it helped!
Where did you ordered the battery ?

I didn't even watch that far!

Hey Dude, thanks for share this video. what is the numbering of the bottom screws at 1:32 M2x3 ??
Nice video and helped me a lot!
Glad it helped!
Nice video,and very helpful.
Glad you found it helpful.
Yeah you definitely should be careful as these things and the parts inside are not cheap:)
are you able to add an LTE module into this if it doesn't come with one originally ?
So you still recommend it in late 2020? To daily use on university ? And use office and zoom ? Thanks
Made this video 3 years ago, I think you have better options now.
@@HipIOReviews but i got low budget 😂
But for less than 200€ its a good deal ?

Can you upgrade the RAM on this model?
Yeah, is it possible?
@@luja805 Most likely not.
Soldered to the main board, so sadly not.
What can you do if some of the clips were broken during the screen removal step?

Holy shit a tablet you can replace the battery in without having to use a heat gun, insane.
👍
The big question you didn't answer. Did it fix the date problem??

Why doesn't Microsoft know about tiny screws & clips?
🤷♂️
I dont own one but i feel like opening one now.
I need upgrade the ssd my ssd is 128gb i want 500 gb
