Well, long story short, basically I just removed the back, unplugged the battery, and reseated the SSD, and blew off the board and fan. I put it all back together within about 20 minutes or so, and when I fired it back up, I found the date/time had been set forward somehow to Dec 19. This made all certificates expired and no https would work and no network apps allowing connections. Any idea why this happened? I've had this apart many times and never had this happen. These things don't have a "CMOS" battery or anything that can be replaced do they? I haven't been able to find any detail on how the system clock gets power when battery disconnected. Maybe a cap or something? Please let me know how this is setup and supposed to work, and if I can replace anything, or if I even need to. Like I said, I've had this apart many times and never had this happen before. Thanks.
