T21 Startup problem

Can anyone help a mate with a startup problem?

IBM T21 running XP, on startup displays "Error 271 date & time error" then reverts to BIOS setup screen but keyboard does not work.
I suspect the CMOS battery but can't confirm from the IBM website.
Other info. Laptop is about three years old. Just had a virus possibly Lovesan.A, cleared by trendmicro Housecall, but laptop hasn't worked since.

Any thoughts from you experts out there?

ATB, PTC
