Title
How to Replace the HP Touchsmart IQ506 CMOS Battery (Quick and Dirty)
Introduction
Is the CMOS battery in your HP IQ506 dead? Even if you are changing the battery as a precaution, there's a somewhat easier way to replace it then to suffer the pain and misery of tearing this system down to replace the CMOS battery.
One word of caution, however. '''This method is not for the feint of heart. It should only be attempted by someone with an intermediate to advanced background in repair.'''
Besides the intermediate to advanced skill set required to complete this, you should also do the following things:
* Study the [http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01490909| Upgrade guide] from HP before starting so you can remove the battery if you drop it in the machine by accident. As of the time of writing, there is no dedicated guide on how to change this battery the long way. Because of this I am going to recommend reading the HP upgrade manual for now. '''Once you have the back removed, remove the screws from the motherboard EMI shield. These are all the same length, and can be sorted in one pile. Find the battery and remove it from the system once you find it.'''
* You should ideally use ESD safe tweezers for this procedure. You are after all, poking around at the system's internals semi blindly. It doesn't hurt to be sure.
