Howdy,

I have an Acer aspire 8930G that simply won't boot, and the BIOS is 
password locked (typical forgotten password).  I wanted to clear the 
password w/a BIOS reset, but don't know where the RTC Battery is located.

After looking around, I found top/bottom view diagrams of the 8930 
logic board, but nothing labeled on it to indicate where the CMOS/RTC 
battery is located.  I have removed the cover on the underside to 
access the HDD, SODIMMs, and wireless card, but see no access to the 
CMOS/RTC battery.

Can someone tell me where it is on this, and what the difference 
between ab 8930 and 8930G is?
