try a firmware/BIOS update. That won't happen for a while,
since it will take more time than I have for the next two weeks,
involving as it likely does getting some version of Windows
running on the Lenovo first. Drat.</font></p>

<p><font size="4" face="Adobe Courier">I have now (Monday morning)
replaced the CMOS battery in the ailing Lenovo Legion T5.
After replacing it, I cold-booted up and reset the date -- it
seems stuck on Sept 9 -- and ran it for a few minutes. Then I
warm-rebooted, and the computer came up quickly. But the date
is still stuck on Sept 9. I'll try another cold boot and look
into BIOS settings, but I'm afraid that's an indication that
the problems go beyond the battery. (Unless of course the
battery I put in was also dead, but that seems a wishful
stretch.) Nothing is easy.</font><br>
