It's there
to charge the nicad battery, and was already part of the
motherboard. I desoldered one leg (which had been eaten away) and
replaced it with a new part.
And remember: Sometimes when the battery goes flat, the computer does
not boot and looks dead!!!
But I have found that after removing the batery the machine will boot,
though it will of course complain about the CMOS being corrupt. I seem
to remember that the OP said he had de-soldered the batery.
Cheers.
Phill.
