@jaideep5, Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
Based on your description, it sounds like your laptop may have suffered moisture damage, which is now triggering multiple system alerts:
- CMOS Battery Warning
- Overheating / Vents Blocked Warning
- Incorrect System Time
Let’s go through the steps to address each issue:
Power Off and Dry the Laptop
Since the laptop was wet:
- Immediately power it off and disconnect all peripherals.
- Place it in a dry, ventilated area for at least 24–48 hours.
- Avoid using a hairdryer or heat source, this can cause further damage.
If possible, place the laptop in a container with silica gel packets to absorb moisture.
CMOS Battery Warning
This usually appears when the internal battery that stores BIOS settings is failing or disconnected.
- After drying, reset the BIOS:
- Power on the laptop and press Esc or F10 repeatedly to enter BIOS.
- Set the correct date and time.
- Save and exit.
If the warning persists, the CMOS battery may need replacement.
Overheating / Vents Blocked Warning
This could be due to:
- Moisture interfering with thermal sensors.
- Dust or debris in the vents.
Steps:
- Use compressed air to clean the vents.
- Check if the fan is spinning properly.
- Monitor temperatures using HP’s built-in diagnostics:
- Restart and press F2 to enter HP PC Hardware Diagnostics.
- Run the System Tests > Thermal Test.
Incorrect Time
This is linked to the CMOS battery or BIOS reset.
- After BIOS reset, ensure Windows is set to auto-sync time:
- Go to Settings > Time & Language > Date & Time
- Enable Set time automatically and Set time zone automatically
