Oh, and if you’re doing the soldering yourself, make sure you get the orientation right. If you solder the holder in backwards then your polarity (+/-) will be backwards and bad things will happen.
To fix it the motherboard needs to be removed, the old holder desoldered and then a new one soldered in.
Any cmos battery holder shoiuld work as long as its solder contacts have the same spacing and it physically fits in the old location.
I googled cmos battery holder and this is the first link that came up:

I imagine if you go to the support page for you model you may be able to find a parts list that’d show an exact replacement. But really, all you need is one that fits in the same space.
