Great video. I used this process to replace the battery in a Travelmate 342t and it was almost exactly the same (the battery is under a silver cover on the far right of the motherboard). The battery was also a cr1220 and was socketed so it was pretty easy to replace.
Excellent video and easy to follow, I don't think I would ever have found this battery without it the manuals gave no clues. Got a replacement from Maplins £3.39
Great Video. Before I found it I had tried everything except wait on a Full moon and walk around a rooster seven times. After video took less than 5 minutesI had to slightly modify procedure for Travelmate 250. To slide hing cover had to remove 2 screws from bottom rather than back, Then remove the 2 newly revealed screws. There It was the CMOS Battery. My battery was a CR2032 with a pigtail not the CR1220 he had in his unit. I bought regular CR2032 and taped leads on.
I would like to add my thanks Seajays. This was exactly the correct procedure for replacing the CR1220 in a Travelmate 527TXV.

Before taking apart and touching the inside of any laptop, remove adapter and laptop battery first!
