What would you do to diagnose and repair...

Hi all, Tomorrow I'll have to visit a customer that has a computer that shows "CMOS error" when starts. If you press F1 enter the bios and reload the default values it restarts correctly. It happens each time the computer gets shut down... I thought about the battery, but they have changed it for a new one and the problem persists,... Apart of getting a new computer... what would you do in that case? Any recommendation? Thank you all! :thumbsup:

Try re-flashing the BIOS.

I was laughing at that message for years... Until I bought new tires for my car: In that dusty, oily workshop where the guy was balancing the tires, this balancing machine was contolled by a PC. I was the first customer that morning, watching him boot up the machine. In that environment, a keyboard would be clogged up with dust within a few days, so there was no keybaord! Besides, the guy was wearing protecting leather working gloves, which would make typing impossible. This famous error message appeared right above a huge green square, with an equally huge "F1" label, filling half of the screen, over which was stretched an elastic, clear plastic cover. The guy hit the F1 square with his fist, to make the PC complete the booting. All furhter operations was done by knocking on fairly large selection rectangles on the touch sensitive screen - typically 6 to 8 selections. In that dusty, oily environment (which car workshops are, almost by definition), it made perfect sense not to have a keyboard.
They got the last laugh! :laugh:
