*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!

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.
