Does this mean I need a new CMOS battery? Damn, I got this laptop from my Mom a few months ago for $250 when she bought a new Toshiba. She lives on a sailboat and I broke the connector off trying to replace the CMOS battery in her really old laptop due to corrosion from sea air. :roll:

That could easily be the case, unless there's a separate clock battery.
