Yes as someone has already pointed out its a CR1220. I had to change
mine some while ago - I've forgotten the symtoms. I guess there is
always a possibility of leakage so would recommend a change. It's
located on the real-time-clock - a very tiny module attached to the
motherboard. Battery is not easy to see and I vaguely remember it was
a little tricky to replace.
