TOOK MY 14 IN. PAVILION COMPLETLY APART AN COULD NOT FIND THE RTC BATTERY

[BeemerBiker]

Laptops that have internal batteries do not need an RTC battery.  The only HP laptops I know of with RTC batteries are those that have an external battery that unplugs from the case.

What was the problem you were trying to solve? 

If you were trying to reset the CMOS it is done two ways

Follow the steps below to reset computer CMOS data.

1. Turn off the computer.
2. Press and hold the Windows and the V keys.
3. While still pressing those keys, press and hold down the Power button on the computer for 2-3 seconds.
4. Release all the keys.
5. At the completion of a successful CMOS reset, a message showing CMOS Reset (502) will be displayed.
6. Restart the computer.

lf you do not see that 502 message then :

• Turn on the computer by holding the power button down for 20 full seconds then release.
• Press the Power button one more time (if necessary) to start the computer.
• Tap the ESC key about once a second after you see the LEDs on the keyboard flash.
• Press F10 to get in to bios. Check Date and time, save setting when you exit
