It's a 1/2"-diameter, ~1"-long pink & green thing (usually) under a black plastic sheild near the front-upper right corner of the logic board (when viewed with the door off and the front of the computer on your right). I haven't seen a genuine S900 case in so many years, I can't remember if the drive bays will be obscuring the battery or not. You may need to remove the side door, pop off the front bezel, and slide the main drive cage out of place in order to see it. The black plastic shield can be snapped off and hardly missed, but if you want to keep it intact, you'll probably need a small flathead screwdriver to pop the shield out of place without breaking off its tiny teeth. (This may only make sense after the teeth have been broken off. Your S900 will survive without the snap-on shield. It was really only needed to keep the battery in place during shipping.) Hope this helps. I have the original location pictures from the knowledgebase, if necessary. -Kennedy -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
