+<code>
+**** Error in CMOS.  Bad check sum ****
+*** Error in CMOS. Bad memory size ***

+Please refer to instructions here:\\ [[How do I boot my T3100e with an empty CMOS battery]]
+** How can I replace the hard drive? **\\
+Currently the best option for this laptop model seems to be to use the Toshiba proprietary expansion slot. There is a maker on eBay that sells expansion cards with XTIDE to allow many different types of IDE and CF cards to be used on the portable computer.
