Server Battery Replacement

[Slade]

currently I have been having trouble keeping my cmos settings too my old server.  Thing is that I thought that it saved them out too a floppy cause I have too configure it that way.  I tested the cr-2032 an ended up that it didn't have a charge.  Thing is that I have no clue too get a replacement, what I do know is that its a solder tail an that the positive pins are 10 mm apart an that its a three pin connector.  Prosignia 300 Unit

forgot too add if possible too get an holder for it.  Instead of haveing too remove the board each time too change it.

...what exactly don't you understand about replacing a CR-2032? What's a three-pin connector?

[Slade]

quaxo, no cause this is a typical cr-2032.  Meaning that it connects too the motherboard in three places instead of two that is typically, seen know.

You just contradicted yourself. First you say it's a typical CR2032, but a typical one doesn't connect in three places. That system is quite old (it's a Pentium 90Mhz for crying out loud) and there isn't much information about the specifics of the battery online. Perhaps you could enlighten us, be a little more specific and accurate, take some pictures, something...

[Slade]

sorry, I dont have the photos with me.  This is more or less what I am looking for, the yellow one there.  The two positive leds have too be 10 mm other wise it wont fit in the board.  Personally, I rather have a holder so that I can change it out with a standered one if possible

So what's the problem? Those are widely available online. Order one, solder it in.

If you're looking for a holder, try searching for it on Google or something. Quit expecting people to do the work for you, Squall.

[Slade]

yes, There's thousands of varitons an what not.  Trouble is that I dont know what exactly I looking for

Thousands of variations of what? You just said it looked like the yellow one. Perhaps you should take a closer look at the battery and provide more info or post some pictures.

Of solder tail battery an holders.  Sadly, I cant at this time.  Thing is that I went too radio shack an the guy just gave me a part that could work.  When I went too install it, it was slightly larger then the pin layout.

Sounds like a personal issue. You should have that looked at.

Improvise.

Im at my grandmothers    Thats what causes parts too go bad or something else.

Being at your grandmothers? Wow. Is she a witch?

[quaxo]

Wait, did you just accuse your grandmother of making your computer parts go bad?

[Slade]

no, I will report you if you persit on that slander.  She had too go threw kemo an what not. 

[Salmon Trout]

This is better than many TV comedy series.

Slade, you wrote this...

[quaxo]

We're not slandering your grandmother.

Im at my grandmothers    Thats what causes parts too go bad or something else.

You clearly stated you were at your grandmother's, that's what causes parts to go bad. "That" refers to what if not your grandmother or being at your grandmother's?

Squall... er, I mean Slade... if you want people to understand you, you need to make more effort in making what you're saying clear. You can't completely screw up what you're saying then threaten to report people because they can't figure out what you mean.

[Slade]

I just answered the questions you gave in sequence more or less.  I just had my great great grandmother die the other week too. 

[Salmon Trout]

Why don't you answer the questions like normal people do? (clearly, and in English?)

Sorry to hear that, but I don't know why you even bring it up. How did we go from replacing a battery in that old machine to talking about your relatives? Only you, Squall, only you.

Actually, my grandmother died in 1981, and I have some silver spoons that she gave me. Do I get any points for that?

[Slade]

ummm....    No, I was refering too the fact that I was visiting her cause she cant do stuff.  You made the assumption its her fault

WE didn't. You STATED that it was. You wrote... "Im at my grandmothers    Thats what causes parts too go bad or something else."

In normal English, that means that being at your grandmothers makes parts go bad.

You later stated that you meant something else.

So your writing is a kind of code (loosely) based on English.

Your attitude is that you cannot be bothered to write clearly. Very soon, our attitude will be that we can't be bothered to answer your questions.

That's the attitude I've adopted.

I had ordered a battery but, there was no indication that I had put my order into digi tech an it was on back order.  Suppose that I will have too try again later but, they do have the battery that I need for the unit.
