    Mine was stuck in a boot loop with bad checksum error. I couldn't access bios from the F12 menu but I found if you power off and power on and spam F1 non stop it will allow you to get back into the bios. From there reset settings to default, set the time and date and save/reboot. Then it should boot up again.

    Hey @PCMonkey, thanks for this video. Still helpful after all this time. For this exact scenario, my Lenovo twistpad is not allowing me to edit the date and time. Would there be another way to fix?

      Your touchpad is not allowing you to edit? Have you tried the tab or enter keys? Can you not navigate to them or are they grayed out and not changeable?

So if I turn it on it's says press F1 key to set date and time so I can't go into bios and I can't go into my normal homescreen until I press F1 and fix my date. This thing happened because I left my laptop for too long without changing it.

    I have a Costco hp df0023cl laptop that I have had for 2 years. My battery was losing maximum charge so I replace the battery (HTO3XL) After I installed the new battery I couldn't start my laptop so I plug my charger in and it started up and I received a CMOS 502 ERROR. I then unplug the charger and the laptop work and held the charge. I shut down the computer(after 3 hours) I tried to power up again without the charger and it wouldn't power up so I plugged the charger back in and I received another CMOS error. my laptop date and time work fine once hit enter after I get the CMOS error. is this a CMOS battery problem?

Then I get a bad cheksum error every time I boot up the laptop and then it reboots doing the same thing as mentioned before, its as if some sort of loop.

      I would first try 'reseating' the Hard Drive. That is where you unplug it and then plug it back in, making sure its properly plugged in and secure. Try the scan again. If it still says that its not installed, then its most likely bad and needs to be replaced. You can see how to do that here; ruclips.net/video/PLiCtwOBuxk/видео.html
