hey all
“I hate Dell laptops | inspiron 1525” bad title , i know
but you will know why ?
I am writing this post and i am too angry of that company (Dell).
DellTM , great company in laptops field , but i don’t know why this happens with me ?!!
#################################################
Last year , i bought my laptop (Dell Inspiron 1525) ,after two months i had this problem .
when i open my laptop , it give me this msg :
“Time of Day Clock Stopped ” and it can’t boot ! .
Realy , i was shocked ! . Why !!!! ?? Why clock stopped ???
I googled it writing “Time of Day Clock Stopped” , i discovered that this problem occurs only
with dell inspiron 1525 and it is related to laptop bios .
#################################################
So , i searched dell website to find their support office in cairo and i got thier phone and contact them .
I traveled to cairo to that office and give them my laptop . And after a week they contacted me to come and take my laptop as they have solved the problem .
I traveled to them again and i found my laptop working well , so i asked what has happened ?
They told me they have recharged the bios and i must give them 150 EGP .
I give them the money and asked why this happend ? and why it give me that msg :
“Time of Day Clock Stopped” ?
They don’t know the reason of that problem ! . the support engineer said “may be you have installed new software or played with bios” , and i didn’t do anything like that !.
#################################################
- After 2 months , i got the problem again :
“Time of Day Clock Stopped” !!! , why again ??
So i go to them again and i was too angry . They recharge the bois again and they didn’t take money ! , Also they don’t know why this happen ?!!! Only with Dell inspiron 1525 only .
#################################################
After 6 months (those days) , the clock give me bad time ! and when i try to put it back to the right time ,
the new time is not saved ! . I am afraid , the problem may appear again , because this happened before
the last 2 times .
#################################################
I hate Dell inspiron 1525 , i will sell that one and buy a new one from another company .
Bye

Have you tried removing or replacing the battery that is attached to the main board?
there is also some discussion on ubuntu forums about hardware/software clocks synchronization
