    Could Use a Little Help On This One

    I am working on an old HP pavilion a300y PC. The problem is with the Bios & time. There is no CMos battery in these models & so if I update the time & date in the bios, it'll be ok till I power of the PC. That is unplugging it from a power source. Then it reverts back to the original factory setting. How can I overcome this when there is no Cmos battery to retain same ??

    Probably found the CMOS battery. There has to be one somewhere.

    I thought that might be the case after I posted that question. LOL All motherboards have a CMOS battery, even my cameras have one. Non replaceable but there still.
