Thanks again for your help, Mr. Wizard. I suspected there was another battery involved but I looked at the owner's manual and couldn't find anything about that small battery. I suppose I could take the computer to a shop and have them look at it. The battery is probably due for replacement anyway as it's at least 7 years old. After I get it replaced I'll remove the main battery...
