My Del XPS 420 has been switched off for 3 weeks and now it won't start up. I keep getting the message that the system battery is low and to

press F1 but that doesn't work and Windows has been unable to restore it. Help please.

perhaps you should replace the CMOS battery on the motherboard.

Good Luck
