    Hi,

    I have a TOSHIBA LAPTOP (Satellite L10). I was having some power problems with it, sent it back to the place frm where I bought it and they changed the system board.

    Now everything is working Fine, except system time and date. System time is not correct. Whenever I set the system time, after half an hour / hour, it shows wrong time & it keeps on moving very slow & most of the times it show several hours late w.r.t original time.

    I updated the BIOS, tryed new installation (Windows CP Professional), but nothing seems to be working. What should I do ???

    The RTC (real time clock) on the motherboard may be broken. It is on my desktop, so the clock does not advance the hour. Annoying that it is never right, but interesting as trail software will never expire.
