Hey,

You can find the cmos battery on the bottom of the motherboard. To access, you need to remove almost all part of the computer: keyboard, top cover, display, cd-rom, hdd, etc. You need to remove dozens of screws, most of them are philips head, some of them are hexagonal. It's pretty lot of work for a small thing, i have never seen such a bad designed computer. They could simply put this cmos battery under an easily removable cover, but they decided to make the customer's and repair worker's life difficult.... It's awful...

Hi deeenes and welcome.

Did you notice this question is 5 years old?

Yes, i know. Maybe most of the PCG-FR415Bs are already in the trash. I just wanted to publish this finding, which can not be found anywhere else on the internet. Anyway, this forum thread is the first hit of google for adaquate search terms
