Shorty Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 My girlfriend's laptop clock is always slow. After fixing the time, it will still lose several minutes every day. I am using Vista and have set the time to sync with various servers, but the sync isn't very regular and very often fails. In a week or so it'll usually be half an hour behind. I don't know much about laptops, is this normal? Is there anything I can do about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jordan Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 This is a difficult thing to fix in a laptop. Basically, in a PC/laptop there is a small battery (like a watch battery) thats replaceable. It keeps the time and settings from the BIOS. Its fairly obvious this thing needs replacing. They're really cheap... you just gotta find the thing on the motherboard first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasper Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 i don't think it's the battery, you clock would reset if it didn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share Posted January 8, 2008 It really shouldn't be the battery, the laptop's less than 6 months old and gets average usage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Yeah but the problem is: the only hardware components necessary for the clock is actually the battery. If it's not the battery, you can bet it's software... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
