Exactly where on the HP ENVY TE02 desktop’s motherboard is the CMOS battery found

[OldSchool1948]

This morning my HP ENVY TE02 desktop would not power up. I followed the basic troubleshooting guidelines on this site and Youtube, but none worked. I would replace the CMOS battery as suggested if I could find it on the motherboard.  Can anyone tell me specifically where it is? (I had no problem finding on an older generation HP Envy desktop.)

@OldSchool1948,

Welcome to our HP Community forum!

The CMOS battery on an HP ENVY TE02 desktop should be easily found.  For example, the BlizzardU motherboard found in the HP ENVY TE02-0xxx series, the CMOS battery is located right next to the left of the PCIe x16 slot: https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/KfYAAOSwAf5oBpz7/s-l960.webp.

I appreciate the motherboard picture you sent as it shows me the CMOS battery is hidden out of sight beneath the graphics card. What a great place to put it - NOT!!! When I bought this computer, I was really impressed with the ease in which you can open the case to gain access to all of the major system components. I very much like the HP Youtube video that shows how to remove and replace the major system components. While the CMOS battery is not a major component, when it fails it has basically the same effect as one. I have no problem with the CMOS battery being beneath the graphics card. Not revealing that secret in the video is a problem that could be easily resolved.
