Toshiba t3100/20 won't boot

Comment:

I recently acquired this machine. Turning it on, I get: ERROR in CMOS Bad Battery ERROR in CMOS Bad checksum etc... Anyone know where I can get a manual on the thing? How do I get into the BIOS? Any information would be helpful.

Try ESC to get into the BIOS. You will have to get a new CMOS battery.

This is the only info I could find on this old stuff. http://computing.net/hardware/wwwboard/forum/16353.html Response 2 You'll find the file you need and you will need to open it with notepad. Where'd all these old 3100's come from? These are like the 2nd and 3rd portables Toshiba ever made. Skip
