*PC Won't Keep Time Dispite New Battery
The laptop I'm working on wasn't keeping time. I checked the cmos battery
and it was almost dead. I bought a new one and it tested perfect. Why could it be that the time still isn't being kept when I reboot. It still reverts to 2002! -- Warmest regards, Steve Horrillo |

I would look for diagnostic software that tests the RTC (real time clock) and if that fails then you have your culprit. The RTC is embedded in the mb so you if it is under warranty then back it goes for an RMA. |
