ASUS motherboard battery replacement?

Question

A friend has an Asus P5N32-SLI motherboard. The battery is held in a black plastic frame that grips the battery in four places, say 2-4-8-10 o'clock on the battery. At 6 o'clock on the battery are two little metal spring clips. I don't see how to get the battery out of the holder. The black plastic frame is an integral part of the assembly, the tabs parts holding the battery are part of the base.

Stenciling on the MB suggest that maybe the entire assembly is to slide sideways, but I see no way to effect this.

I am hoping that someone who has already faced this problem will read this and give me a clue.

Thanks.

Huh?  According to this review:the battery for the P5N32-SLI motherboard is quite conventional.  Isthis what you're battery holder looks like, or is it somethingdifferent?Push the battery towards the metal clip that makes the + contact andit will fall out over the 2 black plastic tabs on the opposite side.-- Jeff Liebermann     150 Felker St #D     Cruz CA 95060  JeffLiebermann     AE6KS    831-336-2558

There is simply no way the battery can come out from the top. The four tabs on the mounting are an integral part of the housing and cover too much of the battery to allow that. I'll try to find some place to connect a voltmeter, but the battery won't keep the date. It is five or six years old. Most batteries last longer than that, but, who knows?

root Inscribed thus:Jeff is right ! A small screwdriver inserted down the edge of thebattery opposite to the gap on the other side, gently lever the batterytowards the gap and it will jump out.  Make sure that there is no powerto the machine, because the battery can land anywhere on the mainboard.Fitting the new battery, insert the edge against the holder rim underthe two clips opposite the gap, making sure that the battery is thecorrect way up, and press down until it clips into the holder.Job done... :-)-- Best Regards:                          Baron.

I usually just release the battery from the metal tab edge. It will pop out using that method as well.- Tim -
