Thank you so much for this!!! We were planning to give my husband’s old alpha to our son for his birthday this Saturday and were crushed when it wouldn’t boot and gave us the five blinking lights. Spent the $8 for a new battery and it’s booting up as we speak!!

These machines are beasts. 8+ years of use and I'm needing to replace CMOS for the 2nd time... but I will because it still runs as smooth as the day I got it. Thanks for the video!

I actually had speech therapy to fix my S sound for many years. My speech teacher in 4th grade used a straw to help. Before that I sounded like daffy duck. I saw her in 8th grade and said remember me? "Ssssssss" her reaction was priceless.

Nice job on the repair. They really buried the battery in that one.

@PerkinsVR 8 ай бұрын

i was having an issue after reinstalling the battery and attempting to boot where i would hold the f12 key and it would still give me the flashing yellow power button. i disconnected the psu, held the power button 30 seconds to do the battery drain thing, and then i reconnected the psu _and_ connected the keyboard to the rear usb instead of the front. after this i was able to f12 my way into the boot menu, im not sure if it was the battery drain or the keyboard slot change that did the job, but i figured i should mention it.

I miss these hands on repair/trouble shooting vids. Depending on what the replacement battery cost, might have saved a bit by just hacking in a new 2032 coin cell in to the harness.

One thing you need to make sure that the polarity is correct from the old battery to the new battery or else you will have a fun day.

If you're good with wiring, you can reuse the connector from the old battery. Cut the wires and splice it to the wiring for the new battery. Wrap it with shrink tubing or electrical tape.

Test 3v battery if its under 2v then replace it. If PC flashing yellow 5 times still then unplug battery again wait 20min and hold power button to discharge circuit. be sure new battery compatible, then assemble pc, press power then at bootup keep pressing f12 to enter bios then just save and exit. 👍

If you look closely, you will see the connector is "thicker" on amazon link you provided. Please shed a light on it for us. Thanks again for great tutorial@@TampaTec
