Hi I’m have a 20 year old laptop and every time I turn it on it has reset the clock and date to 2001 or whatever and I have to set it again before I can do anything. I haven’t used it that often in recent years. Is there some part i could replace to get this working.

Also in general, is there other maintenance I should do to keep it working?

    Not really an expert but I think at least desktop PCs sometimes have a batttery for the clock, this wouldn’t really make sense with a laptop since it already has one but maybe still worth checking?
