okay so i tried to take apart my laptop but it wont open from either the bottom or the keyboard. I looked all over for tutorials but there were none to be found. Maybe I should mention that when I go into the bios, I can change the time, and restore it back to its setup defaults and it uses the same time i put in earlier.

This manual shows how to get to customer serviceable parts. Your user manual may also have much of the same information.

I didn't notice anything specific there about the BIOS battery; my first guess would be to remove the memory module cover.

Did you search under the battery, which is where that manual says the screw for the keyboard is located?
