If you don't want to go that route, you can replace the battery. This
website details one approach: http://www.belgers.com/computers/nvram/.
I've done this surgery several times with excellent results. Instead of
directly soldering a battery or using AA batteries, I epoxy a CR2032
button cell holder on top. I then dab epoxy over the gouges I make and
solder connections.
