Hi

I have a little Problem with my Bios Clock
it doesn't work anymore, the time only changes if its directly changed in the Bios or updated by Windows.
every time I start windows the clock is set to the last time it was updated.
Das anybody know why?
Don't think its an empty Bios Baterie because the Notebook is just a few month's old.

Are you plugged into AC, or on battery?


First, I would go into your BIOS and disable "fast boot". This will cause a detailed POST hardware scan to run when you power on. You may be able to see a 0270 Real-time clock error.

Next, I would try updating your BIOS.

Finally, check the backup battery. It may have failed or come unplugged.

Hi

The clock does not work no matter if i am on AC or Battery.
I have updated the Bios to 2.09 but still the clock does not work.
I started with diagnostic boot enabled but it did not show any errors or they apeared to short.
I phoned IBM but they also don't know anything about it,
they also advised me to first update the bios.

If i find the time i will check the voltage of the batterie.

cu & thx
