    3 days ago in the morning we started the machine, it says CMOS error, default loaded, press F1 to continue, so we pressed F1 and continue to work.
    Next day when we turn on the machine, everything worked except its computer. So we opened the case and find out that Power supply of the PC burned out. We took the power supply to the expert and fixed it and put it to its place, and turn on the machine, but the PC is still not working.
    Than we checked the battery of the BIOS and found out that it is ended up.
    Now I wonder how can I started this PC without changing its BIOS battery.

    I don't know if anyone has one on this forum, but it goes without saying that you should order some from heidelberg if they have it in stock, since your computer is of an old generation and heidelberg has moved to another generation of computer. Thank you

    You can series two double AA batteries and solder plus and minus to the battery. You don't have to look for exact make or model of battery.

    Hi
    You can use a bios battery 3.6 volt (any battery, shape and size doesn't matter) .
