My Acer extensa4420-5963 has been acting funky for the last three/four days. Started out my date and time went haywire. Clock kept losing time as soon as laptop was turned off and reverted to battery. Then I could not start laptop by pressing button. After ten, twenty times pushing button it may or may not start. Machine tries to boot but just doesn't seem to get there. Today when I finally did get running after many attempts, not only was the time off but the date reverted to January 2006. If I do get up and running things seem to work fine. Help!

Hi,

First of all the RTC (real time clock, BIOS/CMOS) battery has run out. This means the computer cannot keep the date and time when its turned off and disconnected from the mains. You will need to take the laptop to a reputable PC repair store and have them fit you a new CMOS battery.

As for the power on problem, this well could relate to the CMOS battery being drained but also could be a number of different reasons why it won't power on properly.

In my experience laptops that have problems powering on is either to do with the DC adapter on the laptop that has a dry solder point or the power board is failing.

Either way i would take the computer to be looked at.


Regards.
