ideo problems Dell Cpx? 850 PIII laptop
Customer has a 850 mhz PIII Dell laptop. The video gives up on it by the next day after he took it back each time. I've uninstalled the drivers and put the most up-to date ATI M3 drivers on. The ram checks out fine, the rest of the machine works wonderfully, it has no viruses or spy ware that I can detect. He said it happens in the mornings so I'm wondering if the CMOS battery could be dead. Could a dead battery cause no video to come up in regular mode?
