Solo 2500 Time and Date Problem

My Solo 2500 will no longer keep an accurate time and date. I set it and in a
few days it's off (behind) by 10 days or more. The main battery in the laptop
is in excellent condition and fully charged. Any idea of what the problem is?

Thanks,
John

Sounds like the backup (CMOS) battery is faulty. Usually these are
rechargeable and charged from the main battery.

Thanks for the reply. Is the CMOS battery backup user replaceable?

Thanks,
John
