How did this laptop die anyway?

This laptop died because I had it for 3 years and then all of a sudden it died.
First the harddrive died, so I replaced that. Then months later, I picked it up on one side and then it stopped working. Been that way since.
However, since i've started this process of resurrection, I've achieved start up functions that didn't exist before.
I think I'm on the right track, going to replace the CMOS battery.
Here is my question:
The CMOS battery seems to be soldered to the mobo. How hard is this going to be to disassemble and then re-assemble?
Edit: pictures always help
