Hi,
I have recently bought loads of different laptop parts from ebay, put them together and now I have a fine running laptop.
The only problem is that when the laptop has had no power running through it, i.e. when i leave the power cable out for a while (i have no primary battery yet), I get a message saying that the time and date is invalid. When i look the time and date are completely wrong!
Does this mean that the 'watch' battery in this laptop is flat and needs replacing??
Thanks for your help in advance!

Yeah, sounds like the BIOS battery could be depleted.
