Compaq Evo N600c

Question, how do I fix the clock on it where it works?

when I let it go to standby mode or turn it off, the clock stops at the precise time it goes off or when I shut the laptop down, whats the deal with this? im tired of resetting this thing everytime it turn it on.

Sounds like the RTC (Real Time Clock) battery is dead?

The RTC is sometimes also referred to a CMOS battery, however, on these machines it is just a RTC battery.

Look at section 12 of the following link for info. It appears the RTC battery is under the keyboard and NIC cover. Some of these RTC batteries have small pigtail cables like cordless phone batteries.

hi. i have an n600c laptop. the function button on the keyboard is stuck and hence when i am typing the function keys are what are being used. To type correctly, i will have to connect a keyboard and type. is there a way to turn off the function key since i hardly use any function buttons ?

Real_Bullet:I agree with JamesO's post. Also, you may want to try using Internet Time updating. Windows updates this every few days, so I recommend using this:

Download ArGoSoft Time Synchronizer. It installs a control panel applet that configures it.

I have a Compaq Evo N600c and it doesn't seem to turn on. All it does is just flash a orange light and then a green one and then it repeats all over. Can someone please help?
