Why am I getting a Checksum error after replacing the main battery?

Hello everyone I am new to this forum.

I have an HP-Laptop 17-by1036nr. I recently opened it up to change the battery and a ram stick. I also replaced the cooling paste for the CPU. Since then, I have been having CMOS checksum errors.

CMOS errors only show up when I try to turn on the computer after leaving it off overnight. If I turn off the computer and turn it on again no CMOS Checksum error appears. After every CMOS checksum error I need te reset my BIOS settings including date and time and my action keys setting (I leave everything else in default).

I have flashed a new BIOS (upgraded from version 50 to 74), thinking that it might help, but the problem is exactly the same.

Something else that might be important: Completly shutting down the computer and leaving it overnight, as mentioned, prompts the CMOS error. If I just leave the computer off for a couple of hours no CMOS prompt comes up on startup. Also, after leaving it overnight I am not able to turn on the computer from the battery I need to plug-it in to the wall socket and then turn it on. I get no response form the computer whatsoever unless I do that. This only happens once, afterwards I can normally turn the PC on and off from battery power, and the cylce repeats after leaving the computer off overnight.

Any ideas/thoughts would be appreciated. I have not opened the computer again after replacing the battery. Plase notice that this computer does not have an independent CMOS battery.

Was the replacement an HP battery?

Have you run the HP diagnostics ?

Yes, I used an OEM battery as a replacement.

I have an update: tonight I left the power cord connected. Then I disconnected the cord and turned the computer on: no checksum error (the computer turned on as expected).

I will try again tonight.

@Ricardo De Levante Can you bypass the checksum error to continue with the boot process? When I removed the battery from my HP Pavilion, I also got a checksum error, but I was able to bypass it and it didn't show up again.
