<![CDATA[<p>Why do I have to reset the date and time each time I turn on my laptop?</p><p>The battery that backs up the clock has reached the end of its useful life. If the machine is a laptop, bring it to the Help Desk so that the battery can be replaced. If the machine is a desktop, call the Help Desk at x8989 and schedule a time for the machine to be taken to Hardware Services for the battery replacement. Note: the clock battery is different than the main power battery in a laptop and as such is not subject to the one year replacement time limit.</p><h3>Alternate Questions/Keywords</h3><p></p><br><br><br><br><a target='_new' href='http://www.parature.com' style='font-family:Verdana;font-size:10px;color:999999;'>Help Desk and Customer Support Software by Parature</a>]]>
