How to replace PS3 CMOS battery
Replacing the PS3 CMOS battery is pretty straightforward. First, unplug your PS3 and ensure it's completely powered down. Then, open the console's cover to access the motherboard. You'll see a small, coin-shaped battery—gently pop it out and replace it with a new one of the same type (CR2032). Close everything up, and you're all set!
