We have a Toshiba Satellite L50-C-1FR laptop.

For some reason, one day it stopped retaining its BIOS information. This has to be set every time it was booted.

We replaced the battery, the charger, the memory, the hard drive, reinstalling the OS and changing the OS but none of these replacements worked. We even tried using the replacememnts in various combinations with the original parts but this didn't work either.

We've pulled our communal hair out trying to figure this out. Can this be sorted, if so, how or do we now own a Toshiba laptop doorstop?

We have a Toshiba Satellite L50-C-1FR laptop.

For some reason, one day it stopped retaining all the BIOS information (time, date, etc). The info has to be set every time it's booted. The first thing we thought was to change the CMOS battery but this model doesn't have a CMOS battery.

Also, it appears to have no pins or jumpers for a reset.
