Hi, when I power up my Libretto 50CT and try to type in my BIOS password, it takes only one or two characters and stops working. Sometimes, the screen keeps dark at all. First question: Is the CMOS battery empty? Second question: About two or three weeks ago, the ordinary battery died and I didn't change it, as I worked only at home. I read somewhere on the Web, that the main battery also feeds the CMOS battery and keeps it healthy. Is that true? Third question: I'm in West Yorkshire, UK. Do I have to send in the Libretto to Toshiba, or are there other possibilities? As I tried to get changed my CMOS battery at PC World (I didn't bought it there, but they sold the Libretto 50CT once), they couldn't help me and sent me to Maplin. Maplin didn't have the battery in their catalogue. It's a small device made of green metal plates which contains two small batteries and has a cable with a tiny white plug.
