Error: 0271: Real Time Clock Error - Check Date and Time settings.

Hello all,
I have lenovo T430s laptop that is configured with Bitlocker encruptions and TPM PIN entry. I don't think that has anything to do with the error msg I am getting but here it is. Error: 0271: Real Time Clock Error - Check Date and Time settings.
Press Esc to continue or F1 to enter setup. I am unable to get into BIOS or even the login screen for Windows 7.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks to everyone for the help.  Just want to close this out.  I had a IBM/Lenovo technician here today and he replaced the CMOS battery.  Upon the change, the computer is fine being reconnected to the dock (the three times I tried it).  So it has been resolved with the battery.  Surprised by the incompatibility claim because I am not having issues now.  Wondering if it's just a USB 2.0 vs. 3.0 thing (and Lenovo trying to sell more peripherals, of course).
Thanks!

  • Real Time Clock Error - Check Date and Time settings, System CMOS Checksum bad

    Hello everybody,
    Can help anyone to resolve my problem.
    I have an Thinkpad W520 (42823FG), BIOS 8BET60WW 1.4        When I disconect AC power and remove battery and connect again, I see this message on screen:
    "Real Time Clock Error - Check Date and Time settings, System CMOS Checksum bad
    Press Esc to continue or F1 to enter Setup"
    Is this a system board problem or CMOS battery problem ?
    Thank you

    Hello and welcome,
    It's probably (hopefully) just the CMOS battery.  The easiest way to find out is to just replace that battery.
    Page 85 of the Hardware Maintenance Manual:

    Here's an example of the battery.  I'm not recommending (or not) this vendor:

  • Equium M40X - error message at start up; 0271: Check date and time settings

    Hi when I start the laptop the message appears:
    ERROR
    0271: Check date and time settings
    WARNING
    0251: System CMOS checksum bad - Default configuration used
    Press <F1> to resume, <F2> to Setup
    I would assume this is because my CMOS battery has had it? Is this a know issue with this laptop and how do you get at it to replace it?

    Hi
    It sounds as though your notebook has the wrong time in the CMOS (BIOS).
    If you can get into the BIOS, check the date and time settings and make sure they are correct.
    It may also be a case of the CMOS battery going out. When this happens your notebook will tend to not keep the correct time.
    In such case you should connect the AC adaptor and should leave it connected for about 20-24 hours. At the end of this period the CMOS battery should be fully charged.
    Good luck and best regards

  • Time Machine: Mavericks backup date and time issues

    Time Machine: Troubleshooting backup issues
    re:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3275
    "Messages you may see after clicking the red "i" include:"
    I am getting a message not listed at this page. My Time Machine fails to backup to my USB3 Passport External Drive with the error code: 
    "Time Machine couldn't complete the
    backup to "2T PP".
    The system date and time is incorrect."
    I have the Date & Time preference set to:
    "√ Set date and time automatically:  Apple Americas/U.S. (time.apple.com)"
    and it seems to be the correct time.
    The Language & Region prefs, advanced, Dates tab is set to defaults but I cannot get TM to backup and the same error occurs.
    How can I remedy this?

    Because you have just loaded a new operating system and a complete backup occurs is my understanding.

  • I am looking for a timer that shows elapsed time since a particular date and time.  Showing days, hours, minutes etc.

    I would like to download an application for my desktop and maybe even my iphone that will tell me how many days, hours, minutes, etc have elapsed since a particular date.
    For example, my brother just had a baby and I want to put that date and time into the app and then determine how long it has been since that date and time.
    Hopefully this makes sense, because I have not been able to locate anything.
    Thanks in advance,

    This is fantastic.  Thank you.
    Is there any way to have something like this displayed on my desktop showing the time as it ticks away?

  • Function that check if date and time between to dates and time

    hi
    is there any function that can check if date and time are between to dates and time ?
    thanks
    Ami

    You can check using IF condition.
    DATA : d1 TYPE datum, d2 TYPE datum, d3 TYPE datum.
    IF d1 BETWEEN d2 AND d3.
      d1 = d1 + 1.
    ENDIF.
    where d1, d2 and d3 are dates.
    Similarly you can check for Time and Timestamp.
    regards,
    Jinson

  • Changing Date and Time

    I have selected both photos and event separately in several attempts to change date and time in Photos/Adjust Date and Time without success. Each time I have attempted to do so another date and time has replaced the previous one but each has been incorrect. Some dates have been inserted dating back several centuries!! The time as well as the date has been incorrect.
    I would appreciate suggestions and help in making the change correct.
    Thanks.

    I also have this problem. One folder in particular is affected; within it after a few times to get it into the 2000's from 1900's, it is currently showing 1539.
    I am at a loss since the batch change roller lets me select the correct year in iphoto.
    I thought it might be a glitch in the older software so upgraded to the '11 iphoto. This made no difference at all.
    This is still an issue unless the original poster got an answer or worked it out him/her self.
    I also use Picasa on the same system but since it gets the photos from iphoto, it gets its errors there too.

  • Keychain problem and "Set date and time automatically"

    Something very strange appened to me today. I spent a few hours to get it through.
    All starts when I decided to open System Preferences and *set date and time manually* (I lost date and time because I left my PowerBook without its battery for an hour). At the next login, Leopard was no more able to access keychain's stored passwords, even if all items on Keychain Access were right there. Everytime I tried to read one item's password, a pop-up window reminded me that I had not the right to do it. As soon as I set back "date and time" on automatic (time.euro.apple.com - for me) all became normal (all iCal reminders appeared at on time) and all services started to get their passwords from the stored list.
    Sorry for my English (I'm from Italy).
    Someone got the same issue?

    That looks like the correct IP address for the Apple NTP. Not sure why your AEBS is not getting the time stamp.
    Would you mind double-checking the following setting, using the AirPort Admin Utility?
    AirPort Tab - Base Station Options: Logging/NTP
    - Set Date & Time Automatically: time.apple.com (checked)
    Is it possible that you have UDP blocked on port 123? Is your AEBS connected to another Internet router?

  • Changing the Date and Time of photos

    Hello,
    i have been importing images from my windows machine and want all the dates to be correct, i have seen the adjust date and time, and made the changes but under the events the dates dont change and when i click individual photos the dates and times are not changing.
    so i was wondering how do i change the time for each photo and event? can i change the time to a start and finish date rather than just one date?
    Any help with the above would be much appreciated.
    Thanks

    I have just looked at this again, i dont see an option to set both a start and end date, any ideas?
    That is not an an option - and it makes no sense
    You can do one of three things:
    1 - add a constant delta to all selected photos thereby correcting an incorrect setting on a camera and preserving the sequence and integrity of the photos dates ad times
    2 - change the date and time for all selected photos to a specific value
    3 - change the date and time for all selected photos to a base value plus an increment for each successive photo.
    There are two choices under the photos menu
    1 - adjust date and time - this adds a constant Delta to the selected photos - is is designed for correcting camera times or time zones but keeping the basic sequence
    2 - batch change date and time - this simply changes the date & time to your selected value with an option to add an increment to each
    Both have an option to modify the original photo which I do (I'm not sure why you would not want to modify the original)
    And when i go into photos, the ones that i have altered by +Photos >>> Adjust Date and Time+ still have different times and dates, any ideas?
    AS described in the iPhoto help and above
    1 - adjust date and time - this adds a constant Delta to the selected photos - is is designed for correcting camera times or time zones but keeping the basic sequence
    So after adjusting time and date all photos selected will have the time and date changed by the same amount (a constant delta) and if they were all different before they will still all be different - if they were all the same before adjustment they will still all be the same but at a different value

  • X121e randomly wake up from suspended status and real time clock error

    Hi all
    Previously I considered my x121e suffer from overheating issue and causes real time clock error (RTC). However, after more testing and investigation, I believe the problem is related to other hardware issues and I like to hear people opinion before sending the laptop back to Lenovo.
    The machine goes into suspend status either pressing the power button or closing the lid from Windows7 (clean install) without problem. However, it would wake up itself randomly, "beep" twice and screen shows RTC and CMOS checksum error. This happen more often when I am holding the machine (i.e. some movement/vibration). I wonder:
    - Is it the RTC battery problem, cause the RTC to wake up the machine?
    - Other hardware failure?
    The laptop has a clean OS installed/recovered. Latest 1.16 Bios installed. No USB or memory card attached. Ram replaced and not the cause.
    Please advise
    Howard

    Hello,
    I am unsure; you would have to contact Lenovo directly and find out how they handle this situation.  They may want the ThinkPad X121e back so they can run thorough diagnostics on it, just in case the problem is something else.  That way it gets fixed the first time.

    'Requires=network.target' wasn't in it so I added it but nothing's changed. I've left it in because openVPN does require network.
    As I said, I had this problem with a script so I don't think it's anything specific to openVPN. I had a weird occurrence this morning however. When I started the computer up this morning  openVPN worked just fine. However when the computer rebooted openVPN couldn't resolve the host address again.
