RTC battery is located underneath the palmrest - to the left of the touchpad - they don't usually die, as they are Lion rechargeables. Unless your Satellite 1410 is losing date and time every time it is turned off, you probably don't need to replace it. But if you need to replace it, make darn sure that you replace it with a rechargeable and nothing else.

If you need to get to it, you'll need to remove the keyboard, then the square aluminum bracket above the heatsink, then get to the bottom, remove all the F6 and F26 screws, then you must make sure to disconnect the WiFi antennas. After that, the top case (including the palmrest) will unsnap from the bottom case and you'll be able to see the RTC battery.

Clock will not set for correct time. Manually change but this does not work.

Most likely the CMOS (Bios battery), which is a small silver coin shaped battery on the motherboard needs changing. This maintains the correct time when the laptop is switched off. They last for up to 3 years then need replacing. (example in picture)

Be careful in changing the battery, If you have not done this before, refer to a computer repair shop.

On start up my computer says rtc battery is low or cmos checksum is inconsistent. Press (f1) key to set date/time. I press f1 but nothing happens. blank screen. I can press ctrl alt del and it will restart...

Your RTC battery or CMOS battery is either dead or too low to keep the correct settings, windows will not operate correctly without the proper date and time kept. This battery has to be replaced for your system to operate. Below is the service manual that will advise you of the proper procedure to replace the battery. Once the battery is replaced, reboot the laptop, go to the BIOS screen and reset the date and time, then reboot as normal. In the case of your particular laptop, the laptop has to be disassembled down to the lower case and motherboard. The included service manual has the procedure for this.

Change rtc battery in a toshiba satellite 2415-s205 notebook.

Thanks for the link. At this level of disassembly if you haven't seen the battery, it is not many steps to get to it.

I did notice something green toward the lower left of the base in step 19 that may be it - if not it's just a matter of removing the remaining motherboard screws and connections as it would be on the bottom of the board.

Shame the battery did not need replaced at that time.

Toshiba satellite 1410

This is the REAL TIME CLOCK power supply inside your laptop.It maintains the system configuration and clock/calendar. Do not try to replace this yourself unless you are experienced,you could lose everything on the system and worse still these batteries can explode!! Connect the AC adaptor and let it charge for at least 24hrs. Press F2 to enter the bios. Set correct time and date If it Persists take it to a dealer to be replaced

CMOS or RTC battery for this laptop : can it be replaced

Hi AshishB, Yes, Toshiba does refer to the CMOS battery in their literature as the real time clock battery. Your retailer is half right, the battery is on the motherboard but its attached via a connector and it can be replaced. Here are links to a couple of venders that sell the RTC battery for your laptop: - Http://www.sparepartswarehouse.com/Toshiba,Satellite,L15-S104,Laptop,Batteries-Backup-RTC.aspx - http://cgi.ebay.com/Toshiba-Laptop-motherboard-battery-cmos-L15-S104_W0QQitemZ170060189842QQihZ007QQcategoryZ3666QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem Let us know if you have any other questions and please don?t forget to rate the posting.
