    So I received my xps m1330 this past Monday, and everything is great except one thing: There is no battery for the Dell media Remote Control. It looks like I need a small circular battery or something. Do I really have to waste time on the phone with Dell or can I just go buy this battery cheap somewhere? If so, I need to know what kind and where to buy because I haven't seen this type of battery before.

    It uses the same battery as my car alarm remote, so I'm certain it's a standard lithium button sized battery type.

    CR2016 3V Lithium

    Get it at pretty much any drug store with the watch batteries.
