CMOS battery

[JLuchinski]

So I forgot my password to get into BIOS when I start my Laptop. So I pulled the CMOS battery and accidentally dropped it on the mobo. Now it won't power on. Would that fry it? Only the negative side touched it. Stupid Acer.

Alright, so to answer my own question no. The stupid thing is so finicky with the power, sometimes it works sometimes no. Never will I buy Acer again.

You probably busted/fried the mobo, not acers fault.

It did power on, I meant to say that but was distracted. So no, a CMOS battery will NOT fry your MOBO.
