Hello - we have an Acer Aspire (A)X 3812 Desktop. Its about 8 years old. We need a new CMOS battery as the time function on the screen has started to run slow (only by about 5 minutes a day currently). Could someone please tell me for the type of desktop we have What is the 'type' or size etc of new CMOS Battery we have to order AND is it an easy job to remove the pc casing and fit a new CMOS battery please ??   Thankyou in advance.

    normally is a simple CR2032 battery, you can find it nearly everywhere who sell electronics.

    just open the PC case and look at a silver button battery, take it off and replace it with a new one.

    at first boot press Del to enter BIOS, then F10 to save and exit.

    I'm not an Acer employee.
