I'm having issues regarding my CMOS battery. It seems to only last around 3months. I sent it back to where I bought it from, and they said they flashed my BIOS which has solved the problem. But 2months later and the battery is flat again. I get a cmos checksum error at startup. The motherboard is a foxconn P9657AA-8EKRS2H. Can I do anything at home to resolve this issue. Or will I need to send it back again. As it's not fit for purpose can I ask for my money back after 6month? Thanks DJ.

Hi
LG seems to have a general software problem.
I had similar problems with my LG3 which I bought last year.
It turned on by itself, got extremely hot, drained the battery and I could not turn it off, but by taking out the battery. Also BT did not work. I also bought a new battery that did not change a thing. After having struggled with it for months, I learned from others that it was a software problem, so I made an RMA within the warranty and the supplier sent me a new LG4. I am very pleased with my new phone, it works well.
Hope this reply is of some use for you.

Where is the black liquid? In the fuel tank? Over the engine?
Please explain where and what you think it is.
I presume it passed the MOT and it isn't someone who is jealous of it.
Thank you

most times i have seen amber light, if it is where the pwr light is on front of tower means ur mother board might be fried. check capacitors one by one and make sure none are extended or leaking. dell has had this issue before when they sent out a bad batch of capacitors. may last it job was mostly issues with this. good luck.

Hi,
The reason the clock won't keep time and date is because the CMOS battery is dead, this battery inside the laptop keeps the date and time in the BIOS even when the laptop has no power to it.
I recommend you take the laptop back to where you bought it from or call the manufacturer as you are still covered by the warranty.
They will either arrange for the laptop to be sent in or send you to a service center.
It's also a good idea to mention that the touchpad freezes too.



Regards.

cmos battery being dead will not cause this issue. you can actually remove the cmos batter and power the unit on fine. your issue sounds like it more motherboard related. check this link to see if you qualify. others have qualified for this motherboard replacement. i have sent many laptops in for no power/no video/no boot issues

You may need to clear the cmos in order to fix that, here is a link regarding the procedure.

Post your results here, especially if this doesn't resolve your issue.

The quickest way I've found to change a password is before you go into BIOS and run all our discs take out the CMOS Battery! The password is in volatile memory which is only supported when power is applied to it. You will also have to take out all batteries and chargers attached to device. Wait about 45 seconds then leave the CMOS Battery out until you are sure the password is cleared then remove all power and reinstall CMOS Battery.

You said that you already bought a new cmos bat, but still theres a problem.check the cmos battery socket,power on tyour pc and go to cmos setup,optimize default setting and set time and date.

Hello!

I will suggest you that you should claimed the warranty if ever there is,

Because sometimes the camera charger got a problem, If you have an spare battery maybe you should try to prove that charger is good and only the battery is busted.

This problem maybe solve by removing the battery and fix it back. and then charge it again.

But its better to enjoy the warranty. You should decide if the cause is much reasonble by changing the battery or by going to the vendor and claim the warranty.

Could you tell us what happens when you try to boot up and the last successful thing you did on it before the problem surfaced ?
Any signs of life ? a power issue perhaps ?
