Hi,
I had a dell XPS 8500, recently I had program booting up the system and got a 5 beep upon power on( which according to manual is RTM issues) which I solve by changing a new cmos battery. but after two days after the battery change the issues came back again And it was resolve once I put in a new cmos battery. I had try this 4 time with 4 new cmos battery
I had also tested the battery and found that it is dead, after remove from the system.
Now I'm suspecting some thing is causing the cmos battery to be drain, but I had no idea how to trace the root cause of it
Can some one pls advice on how can I find the cause of the battery draining.
(my xps is out of warranty for a year and I'm from sg where dell doesn't sell the motherboard parts any more)
Regards
