My laptop won't sync time no matter what

My laptop's CMOS battery has died a couple of days ago, but today, my laptop won't sync the clock no matter what command I run or what I use to sync it. I have tried EVERYTHING to make the clock work. Is it time to replace the CMOS battery?

Nevermind, it was the main battery's problem, it takes care of the RTC so it wasn't going to work with a dead battery
