system time doesn't keep up even after the CMOS battery replace?
Hi,
I have IBM T60 laptop. It's a few years old.
My system time doesn't keep up.
If I shut down and restarts a few days later, it shows the last date I used.
So I thouhgt it could be a CMOS battery so today I replaced it.
But the system time still doens't work.
I don't know what to look at now.
Any idea what could be the problem?
Just you know, my laptop battery's life is almost over.
It doesn't charge up and it only last 10 min or so before it shuts down.

You could have the laptop sync with an ntp time server? Any chance that you changed your firewall either physically or internally? The port to sync with time servers is often udp 123. Also did you test the voltage of the cmos battery, is it where it is supposed to be?

I bought a battery and put in there. Let me take it out and make sure the contact it good.
After that I guess, I will order a new battery, actual part with the cable.
I had several laptops before and this is the first time I had to replace the cmos battery.
Thanks.
