After some investigation I've understood that the clock does not continue to run when I shutdown (or put into hibernate) the laptop. If I shut down the laptop at 7:30pm and restart it at 8pm, the clock time in windows (and in BIOS as I checked this too) still shows 7:30pm. I've been reading on some forums that this can be caused by a problem with the CMOS battery. However, I only bought my laptop 11 months ago so I'm wondering if it's possible the problem could lie elsewhere ?!? <BR /><BR />Normally I'd bring it back to the shop as it's still under warranty, but I bought it in Ireland and am now living in Luxembourg, so this is not the easiest option anymore.<BR /><BR />As a further question, if it should prove to be the CMOS battery that is faulty, does anybody know if it is a difficult task to change this battery myself ? I'm just wondering about it's ease of accessibility in the laptop. And also, where could I buy such a battery? I don't want to open the laptop myself before exhausting all other options.<BR /> <BR />For further information, I have a Sony Vaio VGN-AR31S which is running Windows Vista Home Premium.<BR /><BR />Lot of questions I know, but any answers would be appreciated <img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.ba/html/@3191CA7235A406D833094BA2DD1CF2FF/images/smilies/011.png" alt=":slight_smile:" title=":slight_smile:" /> <BR /><BR />Thanks in Advance.<BR />Damien<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 28 Feb 2008 08:19:10 GMT https://community.sony.ba/t5/pcs-accessories/problem-with-system-clock/m-p/77108#M63704 FinnMcCool1974 2008-02-28T08:19:10Z https://community.sony.ba/t5/pcs-accessories/problem-with-system-clock/m-p/77109#M63705 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi FinnMcCool1974,<BR /><BR />I recommend you to contact tech sup because this is hardware issue.
