Try removing the MAIN battery and then the RTC/BIOS battery.

Reo - you are the master! Thank you so much - it worked. I'm very impressed with HP's support. Dell never responded on their support site to a support question.

Your very welcome @Justin79

 

The same thing happened for at Dell's forum.

 

I have asked for help about 10-15 times at Dell's forum and only received 1 response.
