I'm struggling to get my build to work and keep seeing those DRAM debug lights. I want to remove the CMOS battery but I'm not sure how to do it safely. Can someone guide me on where to apply pressure to remove it? Also, here's a link to a picture for reference: https://imgur.com/a/LoW11P4. By the way, I mixed up VRAM and DRAM earlier—sorry about that!

Check if your motherboard has a CMOS reset button or a jumper for resetting. That could be an easier option than removing the battery. If you can't find one, you might need to go for the battery removal instead.
To remove the battery, try pushing it down towards the bottom of the picture. You’ll need to slide it out from under the tabs on the top side. If you're still having trouble, consider unplugging your PSU and shorting the CMOS reset pins instead. And remember to check one stick of RAM at a time in each slot to rule out any issues there!
Exactly! Just push it down gently. Also, switching RAM sticks around can really help you figure out if one of them is faulty.
I didn’t see a reset button, but you might try jumping the pins if the board labels them. It's usually near the battery, about two pins to the left of it.
