Hello People ....Well here I am not being able to find the cmos battery on this laptop????I have read on some Toshiba latops the battery and the cmos are one . Have it almost entirely appart and don't see it ...You would think they would make that accessable ...

Take a look here at step 20, I think that is the CMOS battery on the left edge of the motherboard: http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptop...t_laptop_1.htm

Hi Al,

seems that is probably true because this is what I got at the toshiba web site.

Because in the following the only battery that is removed is the computers, not the rtc (real time clock).

Hello People ...well I belive the comos battery is bad because the time was set a week ago and I checked yesterday and it was about 4 hours off. I hesitate to take it completely aapart till I know more . I have I number from toshiba that supposedly will have all the info ...Definitely not impressed with Toshiba support or the info they are willing to give . a tech I spoke to the the other day said he couldn't answer my question but that was brand name clasified info ... #@$@% Toshiba .....

Are you certain no one accidently changed the time?
When you reset the clock does it stay set to the correct time?
Was it plugged in to power and or was the main battery charged when you lost the 4 hours?

No one changed the time , The battery is not in the unit and I believe the power cord was plugged in most of the time, which should make no difference if the cmos battery is working????

Hello People ....well disassembled the laptop and found and checked the RTC bettery...3.16 v . I have run diag on cpu /hd? and mem. from ubcd..everything passes I have changed the original 512 mem to 2 gig and it is all recognized no problems but the laptop is a s slow as molasses .

for example it takes about 3 minutes to display the satellite wallpaper, from the time iI push the on button . When the satellite wallpaper finally appears, it takes another 30 to 45 secs to have all the icons displayed ......Never was this slow before I had worked on it a couple of years ago . the thing is it works and the only thing I see wrong is in bios and the time falls behind...

One other thought after I def ragged it seem to get worse ???????
