Error and warning before and after the POST - Satellite M40X 129

Hello

I use a Satellite M40X-129, bought in 2005.
After you have reinstalled Windows and all the necessary drivers (after more than 3 years, which was the longest time I used a windows ;-)) installation this afternoon, I meet the following situation when starting):

(... check and all the stuff of ram...)
Updated System Configuration data
ERROR
0271: check date and time
WARNING
0251: System CMOS checksum bad - default configuration used
Press to resume, installation

When I press F1 to resume, windows starts very well as I'm used to it.
I can also access the configuration and need to update the time setting.

Two scenarios:
(a) the startup, shutdown, reboot: error message happen
(b) setting the time, out of the bios with save the configuration, boot, very well until the stop/restart is required

I tried to download the update of the bios to v1.60, but the configuration tool told me that this version is already in use and it will not progress.

What I wondered: why is it happening? I don't think that the battery power is low, which was suggested to others in other threads, because it happened just after I installed the chipset/utils and other drivers from the toshiba download page.

What can I do?

-Bios update? -> Where can I find a new version? A tool (which I downloaded from a site linked to Phoenix Technologies) told me, there is an update for my Bios, but he wants me to join a subscription $29.99 / year

-Swap CMOS battery? -> how remove m40x-129, tutorials? Don't want no f * ck it upwards...

any other advice?

Thanks for your help.
Best regards

Hello

I think that the CMOS battery may be empty and therefore both a given in the BIOS is always changing the default value.

Usually, you should be able to recharge this battery CMOS very easily.
The user manual describes how to load this. Take a look at your manual

As I m not wrong not the laptop must be ON and running and must be connected to the mains for more than 20hours.
Then, the notebooks BIOS battery needs to be recharged again.

Check it out!

Good bye
