Solved! RTC Battery is Low

[ehiyamiah]

My Toshiba c50-b-14d recently had a 'RTC battery is low' error, but I carried on using it normally, until yesterday. I switched the power button on and the fan runs and LED lights are on, but there is no display or anything on the screen.

You had that battery error, replace the battery. Then see what happens. Also called a CMOS battery.

Oh, alright thank you, so I should replace the main battery, right?

Don't know about the main battery, the RTC battery is not that. If your battery is bad then yes you can replace that also.

Then need to replace the main battery, although a motherboard issue can also cause that message and system not turning on.
