AV14-51 aspire vero Where is the cmos battery located

Where is the cmos battery located? I want to remove it, along with the rechargeable battery to try to reset the laptop.

I've done everything else I can think of to try to fix it.

Recently I attached an older usb external hard drive to view the contents and when I tried to eject it from the taskbar, to 'safely' remove the drive, the screen went dark.

I could reboot the laptop and get to the windows sign in screen, but when I entered my password, there was then just a back screen.

I've tried everything else. BIOS won't accept booting from my USB recovery USB.

This laptop has been a headache.

I cannot save boot from USB in the BIOS for some reason.
