Previously, I took out the laptop battery a few weeks ago because it was getting bigger. Since then, I’ve been using it directly on the power supply. It worked well when I had an inverter, but it stopped working too when the inverter failed. Recently, I’ve faced several power interruptions. I’m okay with restarting it, but it keeps turning on and off a couple of times before starting. After it boots, it resets my CMOS automatically, which causes the login error message: “Sign-in option disabled due to failed sign-in attempts or repeated shutdowns.” I’ve tried fixing it by removing the CMOS battery from the motherboard and reinserting it, but I can’t locate it. Is there a way to permanently set the CMOS so it doesn’t reset like this? Also, I’m using an HP Pavilion 360x.
Some HP models use similar names but differ in their series or model numbers. It seems the CMOS battery might not be reliable, and there could be issues with the motherboard.
The CMOS battery in today's laptops isn't simply something you take out; it's secured with a tiny connector. After removing the connector, pause for a moment (and also disconnect the main battery), then reinsert it. The process might appear like this:
If there isn't anything similar, the main battery is likely the issue. It has already been removed, so wait for a moment before pressing the power button, then connect it using the adapter and turn it on. If this was the main battery, you'll receive a notification that CMOS is cleared. To avoid this message, you'll need to insert a fresh battery.
