CMOS Battery Clip Holder Broken. The CR2032 battery will not seat properly. The motherboard is M810D V7.5A
Can you fix it for me? If not, how can it be fixed? I am dangerous with a soldering iron... and usually break more stuff when trying to fix somehting.
Your recommendations will be appreciated. Thank you...

You could purchase a CMOS battery card. they are usually about $10.00 and fit in a PCI Slot. II will .find you a supplier/
On the motherboard you may have a conector for an external CMOS battery. It would be a 2 or 4 pin connector near the rear of the motherboard. Check your manual. These run about a dollar and use 4 AA batteries..
Search for another clip availablein market which is appropriate with your motherboard...IF not try putting a cello tape for making the battery hold...try whether it works..
It is best to take it to a local computer repair shop. That would be safest. Shouldnt be too expensive to repair.
You can also enter your zip code in the box marked "Repair Service" at the right panel. That should throw up a number of repair services in your area. Just mention that you were referred by Fixya and you just might get a discount :)
