| 44689 | 2002-04-20 00:54:00 | Can anyone suggest a possible reason why my PC resets its clock and all of its CMOS settings when I power down? I have obviously replaced the battery, but this has made no difference and I have no idea what to try next. Cheers. |

I don't think that the 'coin' shaped ones actually *connect* the wrong way up, but it's probaly possible to insert them upside down. I think it should be the plain side (marked + and with the type number etc) at the top. The negative is the inner circle on the other side ( unlike a torch battery). | Guest (0) | ||
| 44693 | 2002-04-21 03:49:00 | Thanks for the tips, guys. It was a good quality battery and I'm sure I inserted it with the + side facing up. However, I will certainly take the battery out again and check it to be sure. |
