Hi Gerald,

>>Sounds like the CMOS battery went out.  It should not do so if your
computer is new enough to be under warranty.  The CMOS battery should
keep the time reasonably correct even if you put the laptop on the
shelf for a year or so.  Perhaps Toshiba laptops don't have CMOS
batteries, and simply depend on the main battery.ter and not viruses?
 
 
 
Scott,

I   had  the  Toshiba  notebook  for  over  a  year.  I am  on  my  second  
warranty.   IF  CMOS  is  the  main  battery   it  died  when  my  AC  power  
adapter  stopped  working.  The  powe  adapter  was  replaced  through  mail  
order.
 
My apartment  is  WIFI  enabled.  I  charged   the battery and  left  the  
power  adapter  attached.  Tonight,  I  had  to  connect  my  notebook  to  my  
printer  in   another  room.  So  I  removed  the  adapter  and  attached  the  
USB  cable -   printer  to  notebook.  The  battery  went  dead  within  15  
minutes. 
 
Is  it  obvious  to  replace  the  battery?
 
Gerald

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
