CMOS battery

[EJOE]

Hello, I ordered a used motherboard. It was a B350M MSI gaming pro motherboard. And it was delivered great. Except the cmos battery popped out of the motherboard during shipping and was rolling around. I just popped it back in. Will it still work? Or is a CMOS battery being popped out and in make it non usable?

And the bottom left pins are for HD Audio are bent. Can I bend them back?

It's fine, just pop it back in. Unless there's signs of leaking or corrosion, I wouldn't worry about it.

Don't worry, it should work just fine!

These batteries are meant to be user-replaceable, so popping them in and out isn't an issue.
It is important to note tho, that the BIOS settings will be reset every time you do that.

 

Edit:
Yes, you can bend the pins back. Just be careful so they don't break off. In case they break off, the header becomes unusable. The motherboard will still work.
