C310 is slow in finding maps. If the battery is not charging it may be time to change it. However this is not an easy job.

Testimonial: "Thanks for your help,a friend has since checked the device and said there was a dry solder joint? and is working fine now.Thanks."

Channel Master DVR clock loses time . is there a battery replacement procedure needed ?

It's possible that the DVR's internal battery is losing charge, causing the clock to lose time. Typically, DVRs use a small lithium battery to power the clock and other internal functions. Over time, this battery can lose its charge or fail entirely, which can cause the clock to lose time or reset completely.
To replace the battery in your Channel Master DVR, you'll need to open up the device and locate the battery. Depending on the model of your DVR, the battery may be easily accessible or it may be hidden inside the device. You may want to refer to the user manual or contact Channel Master for specific instructions on how to replace the battery in your model.
Once you've located the battery, you can replace it with a new one of the same type. Lithium coin batteries are a common type used in electronics, so you should be able to find a suitable replacement at most electronics stores. After replacing the battery, you may need to reset the clock and other settings on your DVR.

Nikon Coolpix keep resetting Time and Date and menu settings.

Hi.

I am listing this tip for the Nikon Coolpix 995, but the tip is valid for all Nikon Coolpix models.

The Nikon cool pix settings are saved into an internal memory.

The internal memory is maintained by an internal rechargeable battery, that is recharged from the main Li-Ion battery.

If you leave your Nikon overnight with no main battery, or if the Li-Ion batteries have drained, then the internal battery will also drain , resetting the clock and other settings, saved on the internal memory. The camera may even drain in about 6 hours depending on the camera, normally it takes at least 12 hrs to drain the clock battery.

If the internal battery is resetting immediately, after you set the clock, or just after few minutes, then the clock battery must be replaced.

The camera must be disassembled completely to replace the battery located on one of the two main internal boards.



Nikon says that the clock battery loosing charge is normal. I quote what they say on the publication titled " The Nikon Guide to digital photography with Coolpix"

"Backup battery of the clock
The clock-calendar is powered by a separate rechargeable battery, which is charged as necessary when the main battery is installed. If the camera has been stored with the main battery removed for a long period of time, the clock may need to be reset. Once the main battery has been reinserted, the clock battery will recharge in several hours, during which time the main battery should be left in the camera."

If the clock does not work at all, and is resetting immediately, even though the Li-Ion batteries are fully charged, then the best thing to do is calling Nikon, at the number listed on the owners manual, telling them that you did not do any improper use of the camera, and trying to get the fault repaired as factory defect. That is not always possible, and the decision depends on Nikon customer service.

My inspiron 1545 shows "time

Unusual, but I would look to the cmos battery- Sometimes , if the small battery in the laptop runs down, the sytem time will be wrong, and Windows will not boot if that happens. It is possible that if you leave the charger connected for several hours- sometimes a whole day, the cmos battery will re-charge- unfortunately there is always a chance that it will not. If it does not then if this model has a detatchable cmos battery, they can be replaced-i

Batteries can only take a finite number of charges and they degrade over time.  A 1st gen IPOD is at least 5-6 years old.  The battery is probably bad.  You can buy a replacement battery from Sonnet Technologies (www.sonnettech.com).  It comes with installation instructions and is really easy to replace.

To make un full reset

Hello Rahooty,

There is no way to set the date and time becayse the system clock in your Garmin Rhino 120 should be updating based on the information it receives from the GPS satellites. The radio should auto locate itself within about five minutes of being turned on providing it has a clear view of the sky. Once it sucessfully auto locates the radio's clock and position should reset. There does not appear to be any other reset built into the device.

Try taking the batteries out for at least 5 minutes. Then, reinstall the batteries, turn the unit on, and give the unit 5-10 minutes to auto locate. If it doesn't, you may need to contact Garmin support for additional sevice.

Best Regards,
Ken
