- The battery is near the left edge of the motherboard and about 8 inches
- behind the front panel. Most of them are some shade of blue, shaped like
- a small barrel an inch long and 3/4 inch diameter. Some are maroon.
- Look for any sign of "fuzzy" stuff on either end of the battery. If
- it is also on the board, you better act fast.
