Hi,
I have a 1995 Pionex Elite computer. Anyway it was running windows 95 smothly.
But i hasn't been used sice 1998 so i puled it out and it worked fine for a few hours. After the 3rd boot bios kept bothering me to replace CMOS battery or hit F1 so i hit the F1 but it tells me i have to reinstall. So i formated and tried to reinstall but it told me i have no hard drive. But the setting just changed in the bios. So i poped the lid to the computer and...... No battery! i can't find one. Any help?

The battery is a CR2032... just as you find AA's, AAA's, C's, etc.
They sell them in a variety of locations, including wal-mart.
when installing the battery, the label of the battery will face up. Although in general there is a small picture nearby on the motherboard to indicate the direction.
The general theme to get from all this is to install a battery. However to revisit that you might perhaps be expecting to find a more common form of battery, such as a Double-A? it is a small, penny-sized, coin shaped battery, usually nestled in the front near the front panel headers.

no i mean i can't seem to locat the battery in computer to replace it. i found a possible battery but it's sawdered in the motherboard. Is it possible for it to be a rechargeable battery.
-
A few types had the battery soldered to the board... is it shaped like a cigar *censored*?
If it is soldered, you might be out of luck, without professional help (and/or a soldering iron) as well as the replacement, which depending on it's form factor might be hard to get.

I was able to rescue an older board by soldering in a 2 cell AA holder....
This was years and years ago and i was still pretty adept at my soldering skills.
I wouldn't suggest trying it yourself...ask one of the repair shops in your area what they recommend...

no more like tik tak and the numbers on are 14.3063
when i start it up it tells me cmos battery low and in the bios it keeps resetting as no hard drive no cd so i can't install every time i must informbios of hdd and CD
I'm going to leave it pluged into the power for 24h see if maybe it charges cause i think its chargeable.
-
Even if it's chargeable...which i doubt...if it's from 1995 i wouldn't get my hopes up too much.

ok tell me this in bios what sould be the setup for the hdd and Cd
