 Does it remember any configuration setting? I.e. if you change some random
BIOS setting, turn it off, turn it on and go back to the BIOS and see if
that is still set. If no memory and not a battery problem then there is
some bad connection from the battery to the motherboard, or maybe you left
the reset jumper on the motherboard in the wrong position.
