BIOS battery

[SHRED]

Mine is rated at 3V. It tests at 2.94V. Would that affect boot up? I'm having issues as described in the other post.

1. How old is it?

They are only good for about 5 years or so.

3. 2.94v is within 2% so it should be fine (how did you test it?). A bad bios battery

would cause the clock on your PC to forget the time and might also cause your BIOS to
forget its settings (if you don't have BIOS settings stored in nonvolatile memory) so you'd
have to go in and set things manually each time you reboot.

4. Just put a good CR2032 in

Same symptoms. .. not the battery.
