I recently left my XP media centre Toshiba laptop battery off for several
hours and have had trouble with the system clock resetting itself randomly
since.
When I reattached the battery it had set itself back to 2006, but since just
seems to randomly lose time. It always is incorrect after a shutdown or a
reboot, and often just changes while sat turned on using mains power and
doing nothing. The date remains correct, just the time setting is changed.
I was initially inclined to believe the motherboard battery is past it, as
the machine is 5 or 6 years old now. But this should not account for the
time being randomly lost while on mains power and idling.
The windows time zone and language settings are all ok, and there seems to
be no logical pattern to the resets.
Any ideas how to fix it gratefully accepted!
