When you replace the CMOS battery, you must wait about 10 minutes with the old battery removed, before fitting the new one (if you had a problem with the error message before) - when you fit the new battery, plug the tablet in and don't turn it on - this will give the new battery a chance to power up all of the CMOS on the board and settle down. Then turn it on, wait for the error message about the date and time being wrong, set the time correctly and the problem has gone.

I have a toshiba tecra m4-s435. i plug it in to try to use it and the charging light just blinks i got a 12311 error code off it but i cant find the code anywhere to help me with this problem. i asked...

Error codes are only of use by the Toshiba Technical staff and of no use to you as the consumer.

If you report that to the Toshiba Technical personnel, they can transcribe the error number for you.

If a blinking light comes on when charging, sometimes it indicates No Charge or the power cell inside the computer is not accepting a charge and will not function. You might replace the power battery if it has been in there for several years. They do tend to die after a while. As for the computer, it should operated without the battery. If it fails to boot when the power adapter is plugged in, then one of two issues are common. 1, the power adapter is faulty and needs replacement. 2. the computers CPU may be damaged by a power surge and that is bad news.

Where is the location of CMOS battery on motherboard? I have a 5.5 yr old tablet that's having symptoms of a bad battery. I'd like to change it myself and get an idea of how much it costs to purchase.

You'll have to open up the laptop and get free access to the motherboard. Usually CMOS batteries on laptops are soldered onto the motherboard so you'll need to have some soldering skills to do this.
About the price, usually it's in the $10 range, but the best way to go is to get the original battery and visit the local wrist watch store or a specialized batteries store and ask for a replacement.
