When i try to boot my hp omnibook xe3, i get a beep code of 3-3-1. I have found that this means that the cmos battery is no good, however there IS no cmos battery.... WHAT DO I DO?!?!?! HELP PLEASE!!

The computer store would replace the battery and possibly reset the CMOS jumper.Remember to adjust your time and date in BIOS before you boot.It's probably not the battery---

There is no battery. My online research has turned up that this model laptop is designed without a cmos battery. Aaand i WOULD adjust the date and time, but i cant even get into the bios. I turn it on, it beeps 3-3-1....3-3-1....3-3-1.... etc and thats it. Nothing on the screen at all. Anymore insight? Thank you for the response tho!

Hello ride_for_life13 and other readers,

my omnibook XE3 also beeps 3-3-1, I have the same error. I has complete demounted the notebook and i found the CMOS-rechargeable-battery. The Voltage measuring is 3.11 Volts directly on the battery.

In the service manual i did not found a solution for this problem.

You can help me, what is your solution for this problem?

Best regards

Otto

Hi,

I too used to have this problem.

I have since replaced the Battery which is on the underside of the motherboard, a real bitch to get at, as you have to pull everything out.

I followed the Instructions in the service manual.

the Laptop works again after I replaced the Battery.

Cheers.
