    Hi everyone,
    I have bought a Satellite P205-S6237 Toshiba laptop for 6 months. When the AC power supply is used, there is no problem. But when I put it in Hibernate mode, disconnect AC power, then turn it on later, the RTC doesn't work properly. Sometime it is reset, another time it is paused during the hibernate mode. I wonder if there is a faulty in RTC battery. Please give me a solution. Thank you.

    Change a setting in the BIOS and if it changes back, its probably the RTC battery.

    Thanks for allan_huang sugestion. I have tried to change BIOS default setting. But when error occurs, only real time clock is reset and BIOS setting remains. I am using Vista Windows. This errors occurs after Hibernating, not after Power on/off. I wonder if Windows Vista causes this error. Is it possible?
