You need to be very careful about static electricity discharge when
working inside a computer case.
Leaving the CPU plugged in while turned off and grounding your hand to
the power supply's case each time before you touch other internal
electronics is a good approach.

It did take awhile and getting the battery out wasn't easy. Manual
mentioned using a plastic screwdriver; maybe this is something I should get
for a next time. Now that I know how to open cover, that should be quicker
next time.

Just an advice on the side. I only open my computer to do whatever, replace
the CMOS battery, replace HD, etc
starting on a Sunday that I am free with my time, starting at 8 AM. Prior
to that I used to start after work in the
evening and spent the whole night struggling with it. No longer... And...
after you replace the first CMOS battery
the next time it will be very easy.
Computers sometimes scare us!...

After replacing CMOS battery the sound volume coming through speakers
connected to computer seems to have returned to normal. Does this make
sense? Even if it doesn't, I'll take it. When I changed the battery it
was
the first time I ever took cover off the computer. I didn't notice any
ghosts in the machine. Was I just not looking hard enough?
