The clock (and the CMOS battery) got some attention while trying to fix the boot problem. I have not yet replaced the battery, but I'm not seeing any problems. What is the likelihood that the battery or the clock caused the boot failure?
If the battery's weak enough to mess up the CMOS, it's possible. However, long before that, your hardware clock will start to run slow. (This is, actually a built in feature. It's intended to let you know that it's time to change the battery.) If you can go into the CMOS setup, before it tries to boot, see if everything looks right, and that the clock is right. If it's slow, turn things off without correcting it, and try again in a few hours. If it's farther behind, change the battery and see if that helps. I don't know if it's still true, but the Print Screen key used to work there, and if so, you can use it to get a printout of your settings to be used later if needed.
