Rome Tech BIOS CMOS RTC CR2032 Lithium 3V Coin Battery for Dell Alienware Alpha & Alienware Steam Machine Desktop Yellow Light Fix - CR2032CL-23-2 (2-Pack)

Works great. Brought my alienware alpha r1 back to life. Will update in the future if anything goes wrong. As of today comments. So far so good.

If you get the yellow lights of death on your Alienware Alpha, you definitely need this battery. Do a search for how to replace the battery first to familiarize yourself. It will take approximately an hour to do the swap. This includes the 20 minutes spent with the battery disconnected. The battery from Rome Tech was an exact replacement for the original, including the plug. The reviews that said the plug was different are wrong; its exactly the same. The battery comes with a dime size piece of tape to affix it to the mobo. If fixed my Alienware Alpha up.

Followed YouTube directions on how to take apart my Alienware mini computer and this battery brought it back to life. Fixed the orange light no boot for me.

Very easy to install, just be patient and it will work perfect. Works great with my alpha

The Rome Tech CR2032 CMOS battery works exactly as needed — easy install, solid connector, and it immediately fixes BIOS clock or boot errors.

Roommate has an Alienware Alpha, and it wouldn't boot one day. Instead, the power button flashed yellow five times. This means that the CMOS battery is failing or has failed. This battery was a direct replacement, and the connector was also correct. The battery is on the bottom of the motherboard, so you have to take everything apart to get to it. If you're not familiar with taking computers apart, you may want to have someone else help you. I personally found it an easy job, but it took a little while to figure out how to take everything apart. However, be aware that the replacement battery may not be charged when you get it. This is not a defect in the battery, CMOS batteries are rechargeable. Just leave the computer off but plugged in, and let it sit for a couple of hours so the CMOS battery can charge. Afterwards, you may have to turn the computer on and off a couple times before it will boot correctly. Now, when the old CMOS battery dies it loses some settings; you'll get a message on the screen when you boot for the first time with the new battery. Follow the instructions on the screen to get into the settings menu. All you need to do is set the day and time, ignore all the other settings. At the bottom of the screen, it will tell you what keys to press to make the changes. Save and Restart, and you're done.

My pc is working again, thank you for making such a great product.

The seller I bought this CMOS battery from gave us the correct battery for my Alienware Alpha, but with a cap that was too large to fit into the socket on the motherboard. Fortunately, my father is not only a electrician but an absolute chad, so he was able to cut off the cap from the old battery and solder it to the new one and it works perfectly. Still, for $15, we shouldn't have had to go through such delicate work to get it installed. Based on other reviews I'm led to believe my case is a bit of a fluke, but I think people should be aware anyway.
