Re: [PLUG] hardware boot issues


A battery is not always *that* easy to replace. I replaced a battery which was hidden inside a plastic cover on an IC. I had to pull the IC from its socket and use a soldering iron to remove the battery. To make a long story short, I spent about $3.50 for a new battery and a holder which are now mounted on top of the IC cover. (That would be about $100 dollars worth of labor for a system that maxes out at 200MHz.)

Assuming you have the problem regardless of the video card used, the motherboard battery is a likely candidate. It is quite easily replaced. Are you losing time on your system clock by any chance?
