So i have huge issue with G6 laptop, Laptop will not boot on, i mean it will stay loading, and not finish, sometimes it does boot on but it wont show screen but only mouse pointer, its battery is broken it shows battery memory error.

i did read somewhere that reinstall would work, but it wont even start boot cd, even if i do change up in BIOS, battery i already ordered. but i can get windows working, please help.
if needs pictures i can upload them.

could it not start up because the battery is broken ? would it work when battery gets replaced ?

thank you for any help

Laptop batteries (main battery, not CMOS) don't last very long unless extra good care is taken. Things like overcharging, constantly letting the battery deplete completely, and other things can make the battery go bad fairly quickly (I suspect that is why replacement batteries usually have a rather short warranty period). Usually the laptop will run with the power adapter even if the battery is bad (it just won't charge the battery properly) which is why I'm thinking CMOS battery. You might try without the battery installed, see if anything that way (on some laptops that won't work at all though).
Often when the CMOS battery begins to go bad the system starts acting strange, it can take on all sorts of unwanted behavior like not booting, not loading the OS, restarting for no apparent reason, and generally pretending everything else is at fault other than the battery (CMOS batteries are sneaky that way). Replace the battery, see where you get, it's quite likely the problem.

I was considering the CMOS but would it make to not charge the actual battery ? or that's just a different fault.
i will try to replace the cmos so and update with what happened
