Where can i buy replacement?

HP Recommended

Hello,

 

      @ Radio Shack or any BigBox or Computer Store. Once you get the new battery the bios should load right away! Yes!

"One long beep followed by two short beeps indicates that there has been a checksum error. This means that there is some kind of motherboard issue. Replacing the motherboard should fix this problem."

Hello,

 

 

    As the cmos battery begins to die, things will go slowly wrong with the laptop. If this was happening to your laptop, you shouldn't be so worried. That little switch is just a reset switch, it's like the power switch. The cmos battery is probably dead and toast, which is a motherboard issue. So just be honest and tell them that the laptop went down. You've gone far beyond what somebody else might and are worrying far to much for something that just normally happens to all aging computers.
