Abstract

A press-activated electronic component discharging facilitating apparatus is proposed, which is designed for use with a battery-powered electronic component, such as a CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) memory unit installed on a computer motherboard, for providing the CMOS memory unit with a user-operated press-activated discharging facilitating function, and which is characterized by the capability of allowing the user to facilitate the discharging of the CMOS memory unit simply by pressing the battery cell used to power the CMOS memory unit, without having to dismount the battery cell from the motherboard and flip hardware jumpers as in the case of prior art. This feature allows the discharging process of the CMOS memory to be carried out more conveniently and efficiently.
