I have had a black Toshiba laptop for about a year and a half. However, last summer I think I broke the laptop but I'm not sure. One day there was a mosquito on it and I smashed the mosquito which was on the laptop. The laptop then acted real crazy after the blow. Anyways, a couple of weeks later my laptop never reached the startup screen. Everytime I turned it on it would read this message: ***BAD RTC BATTERY***
***BAD CHECK SUM (CMOS)***
CHECK SYSTEM. THEN PRESS [F1] KEY. I pressed the F1 key but then never knew what to do from there. A couple of times it would come to the logon screen and I'd logon. However, it would just keep saying "logging in" but never login. It would stay in that exact same spot forever. Please help me I want to continue working with this laptop so I don't have to always use the immovable big computer. E-mail me if you want to tell me further information at bsbllftbllhcky247@hotmail.com. Thanks and I hope you can help!

I want to be able to fix this laptop without having to pay money or contact a company.

If the CMOS is the problem, it could be as simple as a dislodged battery on the motherboard. When you hit the computer the battery that is on the motherboard could have been knocked out of it's holder. You'll have to disassemble the computer till you can see the mobo and the CMOS battery. Be sure the battery is fully seated in the holder. After you replace the battery turn it on and hit the F1 key, check your BIOS settings. Then reset the clock and date in windows if necessary.

The message says that your "Real Time Clock" (RTC) battery is dead, or was disconnected. It may or may not have anything to do with hitting the computer. After hitting F1, press the [End] key, then answer "Yes". If it won't boot after that, use the system restore disk that came with the laptop to re-install the operating system.
