    Hey im new to here but i really hope someone can help. Today I got a Toshiba Portege 3500, from my aunt, she got it from her work or something they didnt want them anymore, every other thing so far ive gotten that way have worked execpt for this Portege! It gives me constant beeps and then a weird beep then continues the constant beeps. I cant get into the bios / cmos at all.

    I uploaded a video to youtube so people can know exactly what im talking about.

    if u cant read the error(s) say:

    IDE #0 ERROR

    **** RTC battery low or CMOS checksum is inconsistent****
    Press [F1] key to set Date/Time

    and when i hit F1 then it also does nothing!

    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!
