Be very careful when working with your computer's internals.
The Dell Latitude CPi D300XT was, in its day, a higher-end machine. It featured a 300 megahertz Mobile Pentium II CPU with 512 KB of cache. Its graphics consisted of a NeoMagic hardware accelerator driving an XGA LCD panel, and included a touchpad pointing device and internal CD-ROM drive.
Instructions
1. Turn off the computer, disconnect it from its power supply and remove its battery and all accessories. Remove the keyboard and palmrest assemblies in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications.
2. Locate the reserve battery assembly, also known as the CMOS battery. It will be an oblong device with six disc-like structures on its top and a pigtail coming off of its right side.
3. Disconnect the battery's connector from the JBAT1 connector on the computer's main system board.
4. Hold onto the reserve battery and pull it away from the foam pad on which it rests. Remove any leftover foam from the computer's bottom case bracket or system board.
5. Connect the new battery's cable to the JBAT1 connector on the system board. Once you have connected it, replace it and stick it down, maneuvering it to minimize the slack in its cable.
