I'll keep this simple as I can.
I am working on a Toshiba L755(ACPI Bios) for a disabled friend of mine. At first he thought his CMOS Battery was bad because it keep losing the date and time. So, I replaced the battery and figured it was fixed. I booted up this morning and lo and behold, the date and time were messed up again. I booted back into the Bios and starting by changing the time. I set the hour and then, as I was setting the minutes, the date (day) starting ticking up with every second from the time. It would run like this for a while and then I would watch the date reset itself to 01/01/2010. Removing the battery doesn't help and, of course, Toshiba has no jumpers or anything on the MoBo that I can factory reset the bios. My assumption at this point is that the Bios is somehow corrupted but, I need some other opinions before I go and re-flash it as Toshiba is "Notorious" for their Bios updates bricking their computers.
Thoughts????
