So I boot up my hp compaq pro 6305 small form fact and no hp logo does 1 beep then 161-Real-Time Clock Power Loss.

The system time is invalid. This may be a result of a loss in battery pouer.

Set the correct time and date using your operat ing system. If this message

persists, you may need to replace the onboard battery.

Did you replace the CR2032 coin cell battery on the motherboard?

 

If not, that will probably fix the problem.

 

If you did, then most likely the motherboard's BIOS chip is no good.
