Ěttempt #3 – I went to start > search > typed in” services.msc” > went to “windows time” > set it from manual to automatic. Ěttempt #2 - Left click on the clock on the bottom right hand corner of the screen > went to “change date and time setting” > “internet time” tab > “change settings” > checked off sync with internet time server syncing with “” > clicked “update now” and boom, thought problem was fixed but after restart it went back to a different time. When it got into windows the problem didn’t get resolved. Ěttempt #1 - Went to bios and changed time and date manually and saved. Here are the steps I’ve taken so far to try and fix this: I held down the power button to restart it and it was smoothing sailing until I got into windows which is when I realized the clock not being synced.
Upon first start up, I heard (5) *beeps* and the screen didn’t turn on. I dusted everything and put it all back together. In the processes I also removed the cmos battery to ensure no electricity or short. I removed laptop battery, held the power button down for about 10 seconds to drain all power, grounded myself and proceeded to take it apart. I work in construction (dust) so I decided to give the laptop a thorough dusting by taking it apart. I have a Dell M101Z laptop with windows 7 home edition.
