If it's happening with a dead main battery, it could be just a failed CMOS battery (small CR-2032 battery that backs up the configuration settings).

If it's happening with a charged main battery that's working properly, it's likely a faulty system board.

@ejn63 he checked the battery and I think the motherboard too, I'm waiting him to confirm. Sorry I didn't add that info into the post, I forgot to mention that.

These two places sound like hacks. 
It is possible they zapped something by not practicing good ESD protection.

 

Also, I know that these days being in an enclosed room indoors is not a great situation. But, after getting something "fixed", you need to boot up the laptop at the shop and make sure the laptop boots properly.  Suggestion for next time.
