I have a Toshiba A45-S121 that I got from a friend that left the country...
I keeps going back to the same message over and over again and can not turn it on because it keeps doing it over and over.
The message is: "RTC battery is low or CMOS checksum is inconsistent, press F1 to reset date/time. It would have been great if that was all I should have done, but at this point No key does anything, and the only thing I can do is restart... I looked up on the net, and someone said to recharge, the main battery for 8 hrs, will do it... NOT. another said to let it sit with charger on for 15 hrs, and have the laptop on at the same time... NO help there.
Another said to change the Cmos battery... Done that... NO help.
Tried the F12 trick... the computer sits at the Toshiba start up logo, and as soon as I press ANY other key, it goes again to that message... I can not get in to the Bios, and I can not start from a CD, until I pass that message.
HELP PLEASE.
anyone can e-mail me about this, or post a solution?
