Here is a picture of the 'watch battery' that takes approx. 1 min. to change (maybe 5 min.'s if the cover is a bugger to get back on).

I had to do this with my AST Advantage Plus (486 DX2 66) that I bought in 1990.
Gathering the hard drive data takes about 1 min as well considering it is written write on the face of the hard drive.
If he had the cover off for more than 10 min.'s he's lying or incompetent.
