CMOS Battery

[KeradSnake]

 

So... My CMOS socket is broken and i wonder if i can repair it. I'm not sure that ASUS warranty will accept this. Any ideas?

 

Btw, i wonder if soldering can fix this. So i have a pin, and then i splitted them into two, and i want to connect them to the cmos socket with soldering. Is this gonna work?

 

And sorry if there's wrong grammar because i'm from SEA

Motherboard: ASUS P8H61M-LX Rev1.0

I would check with ASUS warranty before you go try and do it yourself.

If the warranty isn't covered and your good with a soldering iron I would say go for it.

If you solder the + pin on the motherboard to the + pin on the battery holder/battery itself, and do the same for the negative side, it will work. BUT do not drop a tear or anything else on the board, or you might shortcircuit it. So, you be sure to put something between the motherboard and the battery/soldered pins to prevent them from touching, something not conductive. It's a ghetto solution but rightly executed it will work.

Alright. So, i'm going to test the motherboard to ensure its still functional (yes, because i never used it before, the battery socket broke when i cleaned it), but because the cmos battery socket is still broken, i'm afraid if this might Shortcircuit the motherboard

Nothing wrong with the warranty label, never used warranty service before. But i'm afraid its already Expired/ Void when i check to ASUS Warranty. And also, the box contains warranty card and information is gone nowhere, so i think the warranty is now void :'(
