OMEN by HP 875-1000 Obelisk Desktop PC (5MG70AV)

When I search on youtube video, it looks very easy to pop the battery out.. but they are not same as my desktop's motherboard. I can't take a good photo of my cmos battery area, found this image online and it looks the same as mine. Please help, I need to know where should I "press" or do other way to pop out the battery. I try the metal part seems nothing happened...

You can simply release its latches (2 of them on the top).

It is not a latches at all. All the video I saw online has a latches but this one, NO.

 

I asked someone else and they give me a solution. I just type it here so next unlucky one who needs to change the cmos battery from this motherboard can save some time to search online. I spent 6 hours searching online and had no result.

 

The solution is use a small slotted screwdriver, put it under the battery on one side, and lift it up. No one write this solution online before...
