Thinkpad CMOS battery (SOLVED)

    Does anybody know where I can get my hands on one of these ? A customer dropped a laptop in yesterday for us to load some software on, he'd also got a new main battery for it and asked us to swap it in while the laptop was here cos he'd been having problems with the old one. Since then the laptop doesn't want to boot and the error codes (according to IBMs website) are for a dead CMOS battery. The big problem is it's not a standard one and he's supposed to be collecting the laptop at 12, I know it's not really our responsibility but ....


    edit: I managed to get it booting and the errors messages are gone for now, I can leave it with him like that and warn him that the battery is about to go.

    just for future reference there is an excellent website for getting all sorts of strange batteries:

    www.eurobatteries.com

    have used them quite a bit - usually deliver to Ireland within 4 or 5 days.
