| 1346741 | 2013-06-24 02:23:00 | Hi My laptop is not keeping time so I am guessing the CMOS battery needs replacing? Before I start investigating how to fix this is there a way I can confirm that this is definitely the problem? The laptop is a Sony Vaio S Series. Assuming it is the battery, is it relatively easy to get to the CMOS battery if I try and do this myself? I don't want to have to tear it down completely but am happy to try and attempt a simple fix. Thanks |

With laptops dont always expect it to be a normal CMOS battery, some have the battery in a heat shrink cover with a plug attachment ( had two like this) and they are not as easy to find as the standard CMOS battery. Some Vaios are easy like This one in the Video (www.youtube.com) -- its got a heatshrink and plug attachment. Whats the exact model ? |

| 1346744 | 2013-06-25 00:08:00 | Hi, further to the above, I have noticed that the laptop is not keeping time even when connected to a powersource. Does this still mean the problem is the cmos battery? | swazi (16894) | ||
