Hi!

I just want to ask what I should do when "cmos settings wrong" keeps on appearing whenever I start up my computer. Also the date/time settings would always reset with every start-up.

I read somewhere that this could mean that the motherboard battery is malfunctioning. Does that mean that I need a new battery?

Also, could this problem by any chance affect my printer? I can't print documents anymore even though my printer is working perfectly fine.

Help please

Start the PC, set the date and time, try the printer

Thanks for giving me the link. I'll try to replace the battery. The printer is still weird though. It can do self tests but I can't print from my PC. I think I'll just ask the HP hotline to help me.

Thanks again.
