My 9+ year-old IBM A22 ThinkPad recently started refusing to boot-up, and would instead display the BIOS screen. I would re-set the time/date each time -- and then it would boot-up properly.
I bought a new CMOS battery and installed it. However, the computer still is opening with the BIOS screen. No change from before. When I re-set the time/date, it then boots-up properly.
Do you have any ideas why I still have the problem? Could the CMOS battery that I bought be bad? Unlikely? Do I need to re-set the boot-up sequence, or something?
Can you help?
