CMOS Checksum Bad
Hi,
I am using a Inspiron N4010 Laptop. The laptop is oow. Since 2-3 weeks, when i turn on the laptop, i get the following error :
ERROR
0271 : Check date and time settings
WARNING
0251 : System CMOS Checksum bad - Default configuration used
Press to resume.
Is this a problem with the CMOS Battery ? Will replacing the CMOS Battery solve the problem ? How much it will cost to replace the CMOS Battery with the help of a Dell Service Technician for a out of warranty product ?
Thanks
Arun

Hi Elijah, Thanks for your response.
I performed a complete diagnostic test using the Dell PC Diagnostics Tool and it passed all the tests.
The CMOS Tests were passed. Is there some other problem with the laptop ?

I see. Can you check on BIOS, (F2 during boot) check time and setting if they are correct. If not, try to check it. If no go, you also try to reset BIOS to defaults.
Last troubleshooting is to remove CMOS from motherboard. (remove ac and batt too) let it stay like that for 10 mins then reconnect.

Hi Elijah,
I checked in BIOS, The date and time are incorrect. But when i load to the desktop screen, both date and time shows correct. Now i started seeing some new problem. When i turn on the computer at first go, it shows the windows loading page and shuts down. I need to start the computer again for it to load to desktop and it gives a message like Windows was shutdown unexpectedly. (I'll share the logs next time it happens)

Possible that you'll get some crashes or error messages if clock is not match.
