Subject: Windows Clock Always Wrong |
|
|
The clock in the lower right corner of Windows XP has
been off by up to 9 hours since I installed the updates
to Quicktime a few days ago.
I reset it every time I turn the computer on and it keeps
accurate time the whole night. When I turn the computer
back on the next night the clock is wrong again.

Yes, even desktop computers have a small watch type
battery, usually about the size if a nickle, located
somewhere on the motherboard, to keep the computer's
clock running while the computer is turned off.
The Motherboard battery is sometimes called a CMOS
battery.
You will need to open the computer case to gain access
to it. Make sure you unplug your computer before
opening the case.
To protect sensitive electronics from static discharge,
make sure to touch the metal chassis while you touch
anything else in there. Better yet, buy an anti-static
wrist band, and connect the alligator clip to the metal
chassis.
When you remove the battery, the computers BIOS may
loose some settings information.
When you start your computer for the first time after
replacing the motherboard battery, the computer will
take you to a setup screen where you will need to set
the current date and time, and possibly choose or make
other settings before it will let you boot to windows.
If you are not prepared to deal with all of that, you
may want to take it in for servicing and let an
experienced technician replace the motherboard battery
for you.
Or, maybe you have a geeky neighbor that you trust to
do it for you or coach you through it?
You computer owners manual will probably not give you a
part number for the battery, because they don't
consider this to be "user serviceable." They expect you
to take it in for servicing. The batteries last 3-5
years, and the computer is usually obsolete by the time
the battery needs replacing. Most people just replace
the whole computer when the CMOS battery goes out.
The battery will have a part number stamped on it, and
will probably cost less than $5.00 if you do it
yourself. Expect to pay a LOT more if you take it in
for servicing.
