You can try the PC Support List. It's at:

As for your battery, you might try to find a plastic DIP package
soldered onto the motherboard, maybe a third of an inch high and 1 cm by
2 cm. I found one of these on a motherboard one time, pried the top off
of it (no, you wouldn't have thought at first that it would pry off),
and lo and behold there was a little battery in there under the cover.
If you don't see anything like that, then I don't know. I have a
motherboard here with a similar problem, and I can't find a battery on
it to save myself.
