Is the CMOS battery on a Toshiba Tecra S1 readily accessible from the bottom of the machine ? I've taken apart many desktops but taking apart a laptop is new to me. I'm guessing it's about the size of a quarter but don't know if I have to completely remove the back cover of the laptop to get at it. My machine won't boot up and someone suggested to remove the CMOS battery and let it go back to factory default. (Machine has no display whatsoever on the built in LCD screen or when hooked up to an external screen or any hard drive / bootup sounds)
