| 151159 | 2003-06-09 03:05:00 | PC General 120mhz. Can anyone help on how to change the battery/batteries in this machine. Computer time is an hour behind the real time!, and is this what is causing Outlook Express to be so slow in bringing up e-mails and changing between folders?. Thanks, Les3. |

If the clock goes slow again then you will need to take the pc in too the pc repair shop, because it will be the bios battery going flat…. |

| 151163 | 2003-06-09 03:38:00 | You can purchase a battery from somewhere like Dick Smith or a computer shop - for an older computer like yours you'd probably get one about the size of an AA battery but in a black box with a cable that you should be able to plug in to a battery plug on your motherboard (usually it's somewhere near the keyboard socket). It shouldn't cost much more than $5. You could do it yourself, or your local computer shop would probably do it for a small fee (if anything). HTH Mike. |

| 151164 | 2003-06-09 04:37:00 | If it is an hour out, it does not need a new battery. It has had the time set, and has not compensated for the DT hour.If the battery was dead, it would be showing the date as 198x and the time starting at 00:00 whern the machine is booted. Just use any of the places where the time can be set ... DOS or Windows. (It might pay to make the locality settings, so that it knows about daylight savings time, and know that it is in NZ so it uses the southern hemisphere dates for changing the time. :D ) |

I had to replace the battery in my old PC Direct machine a couple of months ago, and I had to shell out $40 for a battery from JayCar in Auckland. Cheers Miami |

| 151167 | 2003-06-09 05:15:00 | My dad purchases these batteries regularly for the computers at his work and he mentioned the other day that they've come down in price from about $70 or so when he first bought one to $5 he paid a week or so ago. Mike. |
