I have a Toshiba M35x-S161 laptop and I need to change cmos battery.Toshiba isn't forthcoming with any info at all.I got the laptop used so I don't have any of the documentation.I have the ability to change the battery but need direction.
 
Don't think I've had one of these in bits, but this guide might help:-


There are three pages of different shots of the laptop being taken apart, although a quick glance doesn't immediately show the CMOS battery. It could be on the underside of the motherboard. An Acer I repaired recently, had the Lithium battery soldered to the underside of the motherboard. So have your soldering iron ready!

Good luck.
