Default Dell Inspiron N5110: System time does not advance when unit isoff.

BIOS settings are kept by the battery, not only time and date.
IF time slips or BSOD, it means the battery is dead or holder.
If not, Flash EEPROM is dying.
Anyway, if your PC can work, try HW32INFO.


The computer does not BSOD since I used a restore point to correct that
issue. The battery is not dead. I measured it mounted in the holder at
the holder's terminals. The PC works fine except for the clock. Is there
some particular piece of information you want me to find with HW32info?

Thanks for your reply.
