AFAIK all modern motherboards uses a CR2032 battery for the CMOS, which shouldn't be very hard to find. You can use any 3V battery, but it'll probably not fit in the socket. |

i dont understand why the motherboard needs power to hold information can someone explain? my phone doesnt factory reset when it runs out of power, why should my motherboard? |
| Alyx Vance:
Your phone probably has some sort of power keeping it alive, that or it has the kind of ram that can hold information while out of power. |
