Hp Compaq nc6220 Laptop. there begin booting one msg "163-time & Date not set". how to resolve this problem.

First - re-seat the hard disk and reboot the computer. If the computer does not boot up then reboot and go into the BIOS configuration to see if the BIOS detects the hard drive. If it doesn't detect the hard drive then it could be faulty.
Then the hard drive needs to be replaced in the computer/laptop, Windows installed and the computer or laptop's device drivers plus your programs etc. to get a functioning computer/laptop again.

If you havent tried to boot your operating system from a disk or jump drive (which you can get from you local PC store for around 5 bucks) then I'd say your either missing harware components, or the ones you have are fried, and your better off buying a new PC.

SYSTEM RESET

Warning - You may loose all of your saved files - Back-UP first!!

EASY
In CONTROL PANEL select RECOVERY
Then "Advanced Recovery Settings"
Then "Return your computer to factory settings".
Be AWARE you may loose all of your files and after market downloads.

Back-UP first!!

That's worth 4 thumbs up!

You need to get a Windows 98, Windows ME, or Windows XP boot disk and boot your laptop. Ignore all messages and once at dos prompt, type the word "TIME" and set the time and hit enter. Then type the word "DATE" and then set the date. (You do not need to type the commands in capital letters)

Date & Time are kept by RTC (Real Time Clock) CMOS Battery, which is usually a coin-cell battery on the motherboad.
As the RTC of your system is dead, it can not keep time.
Therefore, RTC (CMOS Battery) is required to be replaced with a new one to fix the issue.


Let me know if any further clarification is required. Hope this helps! Dont forget to rate the solution!!

replace cmos battery with usual CR2032- works fine. E-mail any questions to [email protected]

try going into the control panel and looking under system for a system restore button it should restore it to factory settings

Hello,

You can try your system restore function. This will allow you to reset the system to default settings.

Start>Programs>Accessories>System Tools>System Restore.

Good Luck

I'm running into the exact same issue. Were you able to resolve the situation?

Pl switch the machine off and put 2-3 pounds of pressure with your palm on the keyboard closer to the spacebar.. this will fix it..
it is caused by the weakening of the adhesive of the wires below the keyboard.
Long term option - get the keyboard opened by the an professional and cleaned properly..and fixed back neatly...
