If not, change that battery and all should be well. Amongst other things, that battery is what keeps the internal clock/calendar on your PC ticking over when it's switched off.
Why the fuck do i feel like that will result in me loosing sensation in the tip of my tongue for a week?

Are they expensive? if not, i can just replace the battery without sticking my tongue on it?

Saving any possible damage to my tongue should any suck treat action be offered this month.Or lifetime.
