Got bad boot issues with a blade 14 2017, tried everything except removing bios battery, but can for the life of me find it, disconnected the battery and held down power button for a few minutes to see no change. Need to try batter, anyone know its location?

@oxo9389 remove the bottom case. You should see it right then

If you cannot find it in that location you will need to post some images of your setup. Use this guide Adding images to an existing question for that.
