560x

#1 Post by moe19 » Thu Sep 08, 2005 11:15 am

My old 560x has started to show an error on the time and date when it boots up and I have to reset them every time.
The main battery is fine is there a second or back up battery for the time and date and if so where is it.
Many thanks for any help.

you just need to replace the cmos batt, its located near the memory module, replace it with a normal battery found on watches, its pretty cheap.
