Hi:

 

Your notebook does not have a CMOS/RTC battery.

 

The main battery also serves as the CMOS battery to maintain the BIOS and system clock settings.

 

Below is the link to the service manual for the 15-cs model series:

I wouldn't know how to go about fixing the problem.

 

It's probably one of two things...a bad battery or a bad motherboard.
