Clocks on laptops

[sam182]

Can anyone tell me why the clock on my website loses time? Everytime I set the clock to the correct time, it seems to then be the wrong time when I switch my laptop on again, like it loses time about 10 mins slower than the real time.eg. it now says 17.31PM when the real time is 18.17pm??

The CMOS battery is nearing the end of its life. That's the battery on your laptop's motherboard which retains the BIOS settings when the computer is switched off. It's important to replace it, since you'll probably soon find that other BIOS settings, far more important than the clock, are being lost.

The battery itself isn't particularly expensive. (Typically around a fiver on eBay). But taking a laptop apart isn't a task for the faint-hearted (and you need to keep a record of your BIOS settings, so that you can restore them afterwards). If in doubt, leave it to an expert.

Try to check you CMOS (BIOS) battery and also try to correct BIOS time and then after correcting BIOS Time try to correct your System Time and then try to use the site to check that the laptops time is working fine or correct or not. Please try.

For more details and help walk on this site.
