So I want to reset my CMOS and possibly replace the CMOS battery. My motherboard manual is a bit vague.
How do I safely remove the battery without damaging the motherboard? The manual doesn't say. And where would be a good place to buy a new one? Also, it says to use a metal screwdriver to touch the two pins for a few seconds. I assume I do this with the computer turned off, though I've heard people say you should be touching while you boot which I'd think that's something you shouldn't do. I think I touch the two pins indicated by the green arrows?
