Inspiron 1525 - Time of day clock stopped
I know a lot of people have posted about this problem. Start up fails during DELL screen and screen displays TIME OF DAY CLOCK STOPPED.
Has anyone come up with a viable solution to this problem? I have read all about why, faulty wiring on motherboard causes batteries to drain quickly, and that I need to replace the CR2032 CMOS Coin Cell Battery. I've also read that this fix only lasts from 2 weeks to 2 months before complete failure occurs and I'll need a new motherboard.
Is there a more permanent solution to this issue that so many are having?
Please let me know if you need more info on this problem or if you have found a solution that works.
I love DELL's, but if there is nothing I can do, this may be my last.
Thanks.

After removing power chord and main battery, open the laptop and remove CMOS coin cell. At this point, press the power laptops power button and keep it pressed for over 1 mintue. Then install a good CMOS coin cell. Mount main battery and power supply cord.
The laptop would start functioning. It would ask you to setup time and date on first start. Thereafter, it would be as good as new!!!!
Good luck!
