Hello,
Nowhere in my laptop i can find the BIOS/CMOS battery. I opened all
panels and looked under removable parts including the keyboard, but
nowhere i could find the small battery.
So i start to believe that this laptop does not have a battery to
maintain the BIOS settings and have the internal clock going. Is it
possible that modern laptops do without a battery (and use for
instance a high capacity capacitor to sypply power to the BIOSmemory
and clock?
Has anybody any ideas?

Make and Model would be helpful.
It probably has a rechargeable battery buried inside.

It's an Asus A6Je.
But i do not only want to focus on the brand.
I also like to know if its done nowadays not to install a 'normal'
battery.
Do you know about laptops/computers that uses rechargeable batteries
for the BIOS/clock as you suggest?
