I recently got an old ibm thinkpad 365xd from my neighbor, and after plugging it in I received two errors: 163 and 173. I tracked these down to be a cmos battery issue.
I can't, however locate the cmos battery inside the machine; either it's hidden or I'm just missing it (likely the latter of the two). In any case, I'd like to know where to install the new one I ordered off the internet.

Re: Need help locating thinkpad 365xd cmos battery
I feel really stupid, but today the battery arrived, and contrary to the pictures it had no leads soldered and was just a plain button cell (not exactly what I was looking for...). The mount was right by the normal battery.
