I'm having an issue with a Toshiba Satellite P105-S6227
The laptop gives me one heck of a time to power it on, once it does finally come on
it works flawlessly. It's like trying to jump start a old car in cold weather to get it to
power on though, it will start, the screen will blink, then click and it powers itself off.
this goes on for oh around 20-30 power cycles before it will finally power on and boot
into windows. Playing with different things, it powers on most effectively when I plug it
into a external monitor, pull the battery and plug in the AC cord. One thing I've noticed
is that when it's in windows after the long process of getting there the time and date
are almost always off this leads me to believe that it might be the CMOS battery failing.
My question for the forum is the obvious, has anyone else experienced these kind of problems
with this model? and where is the CMOS battery located on this laptop??
