Open up the case.  Right in the center of the motherboard you'll see a
battery about the same diameter as a double A flashlight battery but
half as long.  Probably purple.  That is a 3.6v lithium cell and is
available from many list vendors or your local Radio Shack.  It's in a
standard slip in holder but it has a 'cage' that clips over the top. 
Take a small standard screwdriver and gently pry the ends away from the
holder and the 'cage' lifts off. Remove the battery noting polarity and
replace with a new one and I think that your problem will go away.
