We have a bunch of Gateway SOLO 2500 that need CMOS battery replacement. I have unscrew about 14 screws and can't find the way to open the case, so the battery can be changed. Will somebody help me with this and send a diagram or guide to solve thisproblem? We use the SOLO's daily for field work.
Thanks.

You don't need to remove ANY screws on this machine! There is a trim strip along the bottom edge of the keyboard that holds the keyboard in place. Remove this strip with a couple of jewellers screwdrivers, popping it out of it's clips. The keyboard can then be raised up, and the CMOS battery is underneath!
