Tech Support Forum - View Single Post - Computer Fails to Keep Time & Date

Beginr · 11-15-2008, 11:23 AM

I have a Compaq Presario 6000 desktop. I've had the computer for a number of years. Recently my computer has failed to hold the set time and date. This in turn is disabling a number of security programs that I have running on my machine including my firewall (I believe). Each time I turn the machine off in the evening and turn it on the next day I have to reset the time, date, etc. as well as, a number of programs.

My question: Is there a battery inside that needs to be replaced?

If so where would I find it? And is this something that I can replace myself?

Thank you for you help.
