hp pavilion 17-E113DX CMOS battery replacement

[Mano2019]

Hello,

How do I replace the CMOS battery? I removed the back middle cover, I can see the wireless card, the hard drive and to the right of the hard drive, I can see the black and red wire to the battery (I suppose it it to the battery), but no clue how to get to the battery. It is not visible at all and the rest of the cover block my access to it. o clue how to remove the rest of the cover, although I removed every single screw. Please  also advise what kind of battery it is since the one I purchase (the standard naked CR2032) looks like will not cut it. Thank you all!

Hi:

Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook which will show you how to get to the RTC (CMOS) battery.

See chapter 6.

Chapter, 3, page 27, item #10 provides the replacement RTC battery info and applicable HP part numbers.
