The Complimentary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) is usually a battery-powered motherboard chip. It stores basic information instrumental for a computer’s operation, including the date and time settings. If your CMOS battery dies, the time and date settings with your laptop will reset each time your computer shuts. This will potentially affect everything from your operating-system to specific hardware components in your laptop. Replacing the CMOS battery inside your Toshiba Satellite A215 requires dismantling notebook case.
