| 548632 | 2007-05-16 06:08:00 | Is the button cell properly in its socket? The positive pole faces up (and it's the full diameter of the cell); the negative pole is the small diameter one, and faces down. | Graham L (2) | ||

| 548634 | 2007-05-17 05:49:00 | The usual cause is a dead button cell, Trevor. In this case, I do suspect that the new cell has been put in upside down. That won't damage the computer, but it will certainly stop the hardware clock. | Graham L (2) | ||
| 548635 | 2007-05-19 00:47:00 | i also hsve the same kind of problem...and i didint replaced the batteries with new ones...istead i left the computer powered on overnight...and after the next system boot(like after 8 hours) clock is not resetting... | jonkimnicko (10061) | ||
| 548636 | 2007-05-19 02:31:00 | Did it start doing this suddenly? or has it been like it for some time. The only other cause I can think of, apart from a flat battery, is the CMOS link on the motherboard is missing or gone high resistance. You could have a look and if it is there, slide the link up and down a couple of times on the pins. Just to eliminate this possibility. |
