There are basically three types of electronic clock. Quite old-fashioned are those that use the frequency of the mains electricity it is plugged into as a means of approximately keeping time. For practical purposes this type is more accurate than most mechanical types but may lose or gain a little and need adjusting from time-to-time. If this type becomes unreliable there is nothing the user can do about it and an engineer would be needed or perhaps the garbage or recycling would be a better place. The second type is the now very common quartz type where the clock circuitry keeps time by being triggered by a very accurate quartz crystal oscillator. These types are generally so accurate it is worth providing battery back-up in case of power failure as well as preserving alarm and reminder settings. If this type becomes inaccurate it indicates a problem with the circuitry and again recycling is probably the most practical option, though accumulated damp and dust inside can affect the delicate circuitry which might be restored to accuracy after a thorough internal clean. I once had similar trouble with my clock radio which was caused in this instance by me forgetting how to operate it correctly. Spending a half-hour playing around with it refreshed my memory so in future I will remember when I have set the alarm to return the display to the clock. The third type of clock is the radio controlled type that is set and keeps time by receiving a radio signal from a national atomic clock. They can do strange or unusual things if the signal is not being received properly or the clock is faulty but there is usually a function for setting the time manually though in my limited experience these aren't clocks for everyone and they aren't suitable for every location. Good luck!

Yes, you can find them at KMart and WalMart

Hi Mary Ann, try this and see how ya go http://www.geappliances.com/service_and_support/literature/ Cheers Greg.

If it stops at the same time on every DVD, there's probably something binding the laser sled so it can't move past that point. If it's just one particular DVD, there's a defect on the DVD. If it is a light scratch or scuff, you may be able to polish it out with a tiny amount of Crest Tartar Control toothpaste and a large drop of water on your fingertip (rub gently, don't scrub!). If it is contamination, wash the disc with dish soap and water, and pat it dry with a facial tissue. It's also possible that the defect is in the data record on the DVD, but in that case you would never have been able to see the rest of the movie.

The manual says to "DISABLE THE ALARM PERMANENTLY" you should: "Press and hold WAKE 1 or WAKE 2 until the green indicator disappears." I did this and the light indicator to the right of the clock digital readout went out after a few seconds. I won't know until tomorrow if the alarm is permanently disabled.
