System CMOS checksum bad- Default configuration used

Is what my toshiba netbook stops at on the DOS screen.

The next line says ....

Press F1 to resume, F2 to Setup

Pressing either key results in jack-fukking-shit. Tried pressing other keys such as F8 during boot-up. Same result.

Prolly time to scrap this POS. It is about 3.5 years old. Can't imagine it is worth paying anyone to look at it.

What say you nerds?

Might need to reflash the BIOS.

Reformat the hard drive. Is it really that difficult?

There should be a RAM slot cover on the bottom of the machine.
If you look inside, are both RAM slots occupied?

Pressing F1, F2. DELETE, Esc... any of those doesn't get you into the BIOS menu at boot time?

Not to be rude, but you're a fucking idiot.

Is there a previous date that your brain worked that you can restore to?

And does it give an error number?
