Oct 24, 2019 at 10:09 comment added Arjan Would anyone know if the CMOS battery is typically also used to preserve the settings? (Rather than only for the real-time clock.)
Oct 24, 2019 at 10:04 comment added spikey_richie Have you moved the jumper for a CMOS reset, and left it on the wrong pins?

Oct 24, 2019 at 9:59 comment added Arjan Ah, "battery" might not be "CMOS battery" but might be "laptop battery". Good call, @CaldeiraG.
Oct 24, 2019 at 9:58 comment added CaldeiraG Did you replace the CMOS battery (image for reference)? It's not clear from your question
