Does this computer have a battery backup? - HP Compaq 6005 Pro A2W40UT Small Form Factor Desktop PC with AMD

follow this steps and fix it. God bless you
Plug the battery backup into a working electrical outlet. If the battery backup turns on when the power button is pressed, then the problem may be that the previous electrical outlet is faulty. Proceed to step three. If the battery backup doesn't turn on, proceed to step two.

2 Reset the circuit breaker on the battery backup. APC battery backups have a labeled circuit breaker button located on the unit near the phone line, fax line, USB, network and coaxial cable inputs. Press the button to reset the circuit breaker. Power on the battery backup by pressing the power button. If the battery backup powers on, proceed to step three. If the battery backup doesn't turn on, proceed to step six.

3 Determine if the battery backup is charged and providing battery power. With the battery backup on and plugged into a working electrical outlet, plug a computer monitor into one of the battery backup outlets labeled "battery backup plus surge protection" on the battery backup. (APC power supplies have some outlets that provide only surge protection while the other outlets provide surge protection plus battery backup.) Turn the monitor on. Unplug the battery backup power cord from the wall outlet. If the monitor remains on, the battery is holding a charge, supplying electrical power and the battery backup is working properly. If the monitor goes off, proceed to step four.

4 Charge the battery. Plug the battery backup into an electrical outlet and allow the battery to charge for 16 hours. This will fully charge the battery.

5 Test battery charge. Once the battery is fully charged, repeat step three. If the monitor stays on when power is interrupted to the battery backup, the issue is solved and the problem resulted from an incompletely charged battery. If the monitor turns off when power is interrupted, the battery within the battery backup is faulty and needs to be replaced.

6 Replace the battery backup unit. The unit itself is faulty. If the battery backup is under warranty, contact APC to request a replacement.

When the calculator is turned ON, power to refresh the RAM is supplied by the main batteries. However, when it is OFF, the RAM relies on the backup battery to keep itself refreshed.
If you get the RAM CLEARED message whenever you turn calculator ON, it most certainly is due to a depleted backup battery. You will have to replace the backup battery.

To avoid losing anything important from RAM (what do I say, you are already losing the contents of the RAM), make sure that main batteries are still good, then replace the backup battery.

You can verify the state of the main batteries in a battery tester or by connecting the calculator to the computer with TI USB Silver cable and TI Connect software. If you run into problem such as calculator not recognized it is most probably due to weak batteries.

When you connect it to computer try updating the OS if OS version to 2.53 MP or a more recent one..

For a desktop computer:
Depending on the motherboard of the computer in question you can:

• Locate and change the position of a jumper that will clear the BIOS settings.
• Unplug the machine and pull out the battery that maintains the BIOS settings in RAM.

For the Lenovo x61 and other laptops:

Back up devices on the computer creates copies of every new features that are performed. The backup devices default settings may allow to save data every often like 2-3 times in 24 hours. also, the backup devices save settings can be altered to suit user speciifcations. for example, important projects on important files may require to save every few seconds lest any malfuntion that occurs to the computer is misplaced. back devices are considered external structures and should be locate on the computer systems control panel area with a unique description. Clicking on the backup devices logos would allow to manipulate either create urgent backup or space the backup to make the computer faster where back becomes attainabel durign idle hours.( for example, set the computer backup to first tthing in the morning or last at close of computer usage.)

Depends. The Wizards had backup battery. As long as it is still good, then your data is safe. if you saved / copied / made backups to the compact flash card (Type 1 option) as well, then you have a copy there that you might be able to use in a computer. Sharp used a different, not quite proprietary, format for storing data though. You may be able to see the data on the computer, but won't be able to open the individual files.

If your backup battery is dead, and the main batteries are dead, and you don't have backups on CF, then your data is likely gone.

Below is the guide to reset the power on password or BIOS password. The link below is to the service manual that is referred to in the instructions. The RTC or backup battery removal is on page 104.



How to remove the power-on password
To remove a POP that you have forgotten, do the following:
(A) If no SVP has been set:
1. Turn off the computer.
2. Remove the battery pack. For how to remove the battery pack
3. Remove the backup battery. For how to remove the backup battery, see "1140 Backup battery" on page 104.

Hello mis1539. I think I can help you here. First: are you sure the backup battery is defunct? Bear in mind that the backup battery takes about 15 hours to fully charge and will discharge if the main battery or power source is disconnected or goes completely dead for anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours. If the backup battery discharges, the process starts all over and the backup battery will need to be charged for 15 hours again. If you think the backup battery may have discharged at some point, it could be that it never full re-charged so it will discharge and lose your settings (cache/flash memory) almost instantly. It is worth mentioning that about 95% of my clients that have this problem have fixed it by simply making sure that the unit is in it's cradle, with the battery in and charging overnight to fully recharge the backup. Again, I really would implore you to give this a shot before resorting to cracking open the unit and getting to the backup battery (which is no fun task, I assure you). If this doesn't work for you, please let me know and I can help you further. I hope this solves your problem. Good luck!

Some UPS have "Battery backup" and "Surge only" outlets. I don't know if it is the case for your model. The "Surge only" outlets are not connected to the battery and will go off during a power outage. Make sure that the equipement that need to keep running during the outage are connected to the "Battery backup".

Important: Never connect a laser printer to the "Battery backup" outlets because to power draw is just too high.

Have you made sure that the battery is connected inside the UPS? (If the battery is user-replacable)

You may do a simple experiment. Connect you UPS you a wall outlet and plug a conventionnal lamp to a battery backup outlet. Then, unplug the UPS from the wall. If the light goes off, then you may have a problem with your UPS.
