Thanks Joe. I did attempt to locate such a battery and took the thing
nearly completely apart. I even had the keyboard out. Do you have any
idea where the batter is located in this model?

I have an old Dell Inspiron 7000 laptop that seems to have just given

installation. Since I have experienced some history with this
machine getting hung out there in the ether between suspend and
hibernate I thought I could remove the power and just wait a bit and
it would just boot up again. NOT!
Now the laptop continuously powers on then resets before the screen
lights up and even with the lid closed! I have to remove the battery
and unplug the external power to get it to stop this cycling.
Ideas? Anyone need an anchor for a two man fishing boat?
Thinkpads have similar bizarre symptoms when their CMOS battery dies.
Batteries Plus had mine. They're about the size of a quarter.
