Hi, Lynne here again about computer changing time/date. My computer was changing the date to July 4 and even August 15 2018, not “0”. It did not change the time. I went into time/date settings and turned off “set date time automatically” off, chose “set manually” and hope it stays on correct date. Do you still think it’s the battery?
No, we don’t suggest you to replace the battery. It seems like your CMOS battery is OK if the date & time doesn’t reset to zero (12:00). If your computer keeps changing the time instead of reset to 12:00, it seems like a software issue. Yes, the option “set date time automatically” could be the root cause of this problem.
My computer resets every day after switching it offat night. next day has reset to 2007. I’ve had the battery replaced by computer shop £54 + battery, & it still does it.It will not allow you to manualy set date & time.
