Battery holder repairs

[flunders]

Hello everybody.

I wasn't sure who to email about this question so I finally decided to add it here. I really hope you can help me.

The thing is, as you may have guessed from the
subject, is that my Batter holder on the motherboard
is damaged. The metal clip that holds the battery in
place has broken off and therefore my battery keeps
falling out unless I use something to stick it down.
Do you know of a way where I can replace this or buy a
complete new battery holder without having to use
sneaky tricks to hold it down or without having to
replace the motherboard.

Thanks for any help!
Jeff

P.S. At the moment I'm using 'Blue Tact' to hold it
down although it's very annoying and it just looks
plain horrible.

well you can always get a place like Radio shack to order one in for you just ask for it. if u are outside of north america try the internet... ebay perhaps

So it is actually possible to replace the battery holder on the motherboard then?

the way i see it every thing is replacable its just a question of how much trouble are you willing to go through to get the parts

if all else fails, you could always try soldering the battery to the board(although you might want to get a new battery to solder on, one that isnt a button cell).
