If there's no external sources for it, it might be something that's better hosted in userspace (i.e. /User:[Username]/[Pagename]).

:I found a discussion on MSI's Forum and a post on their FAQ addressing the CMOS battery. I will add these as citations [[User:SinexTitan|SinexTitan]] ([[User talk:SinexTitan|talk]]) 09:53, 2 March 2026 (UTC) | |||
==Workarounds== | |||
There are CMOS batteries with the cables and connector already soldered available for purchase on the market, welding or gluing on one's own is not worth the labor cost and can be dangerous due to risk of intermittent connection. Please edit the steps. The "Congratulations" seems to be AI generated [[User:Charlie 6|Charlie 6]] ([[User talk:Charlie 6|talk]]) 09:51, 2 March 2026 (UTC) | |||

:I'm not an AI. Nor was one used. I hate that we have to read subtext behind every line of text these days. [[User:LizzyLamia|LizzyLamia]] ([[User talk:LizzyLamia|talk]]) 23:47, 3 March 2026 (UTC) | |||
::not just text but even pictures, videos and audios need to be scrutinized which is tragic but that's the state of the current world. regardless, as Keith mentioned, w/o relevant citations it felt like first party reporting. I have added citations from MSI's forums and their FAQ which justfies the article's existence. but the guide part is original research and I feel its more relevant to be a standalone GUIDE: article rather than a part of this one. as Charlie 6 mentioned, it may not be worth it to every1 or be outright dangerous. you could totally do maintenance on your car like replace its fluids and what not. but many people don't have the time, lack the knowledge or just couldn't be bothered. if it were me I'd totally be down for an engine rebuild and if I had a CMOS issue like this I would consider following your guide.

==this is an incident== | |||
@[[User:LizzyLamia|LizzyLamia]] if you check out [[Template:IncidentPreload]] that it is how incident articles should be. ofc they aren't always but we try to remain as close to it as we can. perhaps the lawsuit and MSI's response part could be excused as idt they care. but consumer response, the tl;dr and background sections need to stay.
