I've got an MSI K9N Platinum MS 7250 VER 1.1 motherboard with a dead battery. The battery mounts vertically: http://www.cs.ndsu.nodak.edu/~hennebry/computer/battery.png To me, the tab on the right would seem to need moving. It does not want to move. I am reluctant to apply any more force than I already have without knowing how to apply it. How do I remove the battery? -- Michael hennebry at web.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu "SCSI is NOT magic.

Yup, looks like that tab needs moved out of the way and the battery removed. Down seems to be the shortest path to my eyes. However, I could see why one might also try right. --Blake Michael Hennebry wrote the following on 4/22/2014 3:08 PM:> I've got an MSI K9N Platinum MS 7250 VER 1.1 > motherboard with a dead battery. > The battery mounts vertically: > http://www.cs.ndsu.nodak.edu/~hennebry/computer/battery.png > To me, the tab on the right would seem to need moving. > It does not want to move. > I am reluctant to apply any more force than I > already have without knowing how to apply it. > > How do I remove the battery? >

Maybe it'll release, then slide up? mark

I just bent the tab that comes up over the edge of the battery and pulled out the battery then bgent it back and pushed a new batteryh in, using some pressure on the battery to flex the tab. when I was done it didn't look quite straight, but it worked.

Does it pull in a direction away from the motherboard (i.e up, if it's vertically mounted) , hence sliding the battery out of the holder? D
