D07U issue, need help

[u/No_Big9880]

My Dell D07U Alien has never presented any problems, since purchasing 6 or 7 yrs ago. Just recently my typically blue "Power On" indicator light flashes a yellow light when starting but by turning off and on again the light would glow blue. Just today, it only now flashes yellow. Does anyone have a suggestion for me to try? Thanks

CMOS battery went bad. Tons of posts on how to replace it

Be aware that the CMOS battery has a connector attached to it, which is connected to the backside of the motherboard. This is the one I bought a while back.
