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. Richard
