If I leave the aforementioned lptop off mains power and the battery runs down, I get the error message that there was a CMOS checksum error. If I press F1, then the laptop boots up but time/date is reset.
On desktops, I'd guess that this means the CMOS battery needs replacing.
All my Googling has not brought up that the laptop has a CMOS battery, although I'd hazard a guess it must have one.
Is that the issue?
I can also not find a service manual for the laptop. Specific model number is DV2416us.
Any help running down a good error cause and a service manual will be appreciated. I'd hate to have to open this laptop to replace the CMOS battery.
