Question : Problem: Real time clock error after changing system batery

Thbe lithium system battery died on my NEC Ready PC, so all the congifuration are messed up (time, date, etc. all set to default).  After replacing a good lithium battery, I ran setup and gave it the right time and date and other info like IDE Master/Slave stuff.  However, the next time I startup my PC, I got the same "Real time clock error, system battery is dead, replace and run setup" message.  What can I do to fix this, did I changed the right battery?

Answer : Problem: Real time clock error after changing system batery

Proct...

I have verified with my technicians here and this is their answer:

If you changed the battery clock to a known good one, and you still lose the CMOS settings, you will have to take your computer in for repair.  There is a chip on the motherboard that has to be replaced. (defective.)

Can't do much more from here.. ;-(

Hope this has helped
