calendar/clock issue

Whenever my laptop restarts, the windows clock reverts to Feb. 2006.
The clock resets to 12:00am, no matter what time of day it is.

My first thought was the mobo battery. But since this is a laptop, I'm
not real keen on doing that unless other possible causes have been excluded.

Thanks for any help.

That would be my first guess as well. Check the owners manual, usually the
battery is put somewhere that can be accessed without tearing the laptop
apart.
