It turns out that the soldered in CMOS battery on the Toshiba
Satellite L45 laptop is rechargeable. The laptop needs to be turned on
for 24 hours to charge the battery. I discovered this while searching
for info on where to find the battery so I could consider changing it.
I left the laptop running overnight. I powered down and removed the Li
battery, took off the little covers on the bottom, didn't see the
battery, downloaded the User's Guide from the Toshiba site and
searched for CMOS. I found that they call this one the RTC battery
(Real Time Clock. Anyway, here's the instructions for charging this
battery:
To recharge the RTC battery, plug the computer into a live electrical
outlet and leave the computer powered on for 24 hours.
So, all appears to be well with this little guy, except for how slow
it boots. It's only got 1 gig of RAM. It can take 1 gigs, and would
only cost me about $32, but I probably won't need it for its end use,
which is playing recorded music.
Should have said it can take 2 gigs.
