Toshiba 5200/100 - CMOS battery replacement to get floppy drive working
Posted: 28-Apr-2012 10:12

Unit still working fine, under Windows 3.1.
Startup now, by setting time & date (CMOS battery).
However, recently the Floppy drive is NOT coming "ready".

Would it help to replace the CMOS battery to get the Floppy Drive working again ?
Pls. advise. Any advise welcome. T.I.A.

Correct

Hi

CMOS battery is needed to keep the BIOS settings saved.
It looks like the CMOS battery is empty if you need to set the date and time always in the BIOS settings. But the CMOS battery has nothing to do with the floppy drive.
