My computer clock won't keep time. Shop said "battery O.K.". but no ideas as to why it can't keep time.

from  what  i  understand  theres  a  crystal  that  rotates  and  it  is  what  keeps  time--from  a  friend--  if  its  messed  up  the  clock  wont  work  my  98  has  a  messed  up  clock  tho  i  rarely  use  it  so  i  guess  it  dont  matter  there  \n\ni  hear  a  way  to  sinq  clocks  is  leave  it  on  fer  awhile  online  it  should  naturally

Dude, I don't know anything about that button but i do know that every 108 minutes the buttons must be used to put the numbers in the computer or else the world ends. Also..just press the button and see what happens. Knowledge is power. Can I get a witness?

You'll basically need to code a few counters.\n\nFirst, you need to know what frequency clock input you are using.  This will determine when to increment your time.  If you're only displaying minutes and hours, your display will increment every 60 seconds.  If you are using a 1kHz clock, this means you have 1,000 cycles per second.  So you know 60,000 cycles equals 1 minute. \n\nSomething like this...\n\nalways @(posedge clk or negedge rst_n)\n  if (!rst_n)\n    counter <= 16'b0;\n  else if (counter==60000) //reset counter every second\n    counter <= 16'b0;\n  else\n    counter <= counter+1;\n\nYou'll have 4 digits of the time to increment separately.  Each number will be a number between 0 to 9.  This 4-bit number will most likely interface to a seven-segment display.\n\nalways @(posedge clk or negedge rst_n )\n  if (!rst_n)\n    digit0 <= 0;\n  else if (counter==60000 && digit0==9)\n    digit0 <= 0;\n  else\n    digit0 <= digit0+1;\n\nalways @(posedge clk or negedge rst_n )\n  if (!rst_n)\n    digit1 <= 0;\n  else if (counter==60000 && digit1==5 && digit0==9)\n    digit1 <= 0;\n  else if (counter==60000 && digit0==9)\n    digit1 <= digit1+1;\n\nYou'll need something similar for digit2 and digit3 as well.

1. Go to My Computer\n2. Then click on Control Panel\n3. Then click on DATE AND TIME\n4. Move the clock hands to the correct time.\n5. Go back to e-mail and the time will be correct.

try going to control panel and then performance and maintenance and then power options. there's settings here that prolong the life of the battery so try changing your power scheme if it's set for max battery maybe?

The system clock is set thru BIOS.  Therefore, you'll have to run an external command to set the clock.  \n\nString cmd="time 11:30:00";\nProcess proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);\n\nYou will have to make sure the 'command' is correct; my example is just a guess.

Most of the time you can overlock through the BIOS. You can also try to use some software called Clockgen .

Spooky!!!!!!!!\nTry taking a look at scheduled tasks or power management to see if it is set up to go off at that time or on.

Need to know the brand of timeclock??  Check the manufactures website for more info or post again with brandand model info.

I'd try plugging it into the computer and see if that does anything, other than that, I guess you just have to let the battery die...

If it's the clock blinking on 12:00 (?) then, you just need to set the clock.  Probably through the menu by remote control.\n\nIf it's something else, let me know and I'll try to help...\n\nBy the way, thanks for your input re: my question posted about 30 minutes ago... I realized that IE has a content advisor function and can limit some access.  Of course, there's nothing like self-control... LOL.

change ur motherboard battery( cell that will be just like in a scientific calculator and set the date once again) it never goes wrong until the power of the battery or the cell is good

There could be issue with the BIOS. Check for your computer Motherboard vendor.\n\nThere could be BIOS update.\n\nSynchronizing the time online is a temporary solution. Once you disconnect from Internet it will again go back.

Is this a question?  \n\nIf you are saying this is a problem, then you may want to take your computer to a tech.  Many times there is a battery on the motherboard that keeps the system time.    If it's going bad, i've seen it slow down time keeping and other things.   \n\nThe other thing I'd check is to check the services on the computer and see if the "Windows Time" service is disabled.  If it is not, your computer may be trying to sync it's time with another computer on the network.

Reset CMOS. Better still, remove and replace the CMOS battery.  If that does not work, then you need to have the motherboard tested to see if the back panel connectors are working properly.\n\nEdited- PN   she said she already checked the keyboard on another pc, besides if the CMOS battery dies, it can do so quickly so you would not be able to tell if time was kept properly.  This is from years of experience with PC repair, so before you answer, read the question.

IF THIS COMPAQ IS  NEWER THAN 3OR4 YRS  IT IS SIMPLE.  THAT BATTERY THAT YOU ARE SPEAKING OF  IS ABOUT THE SIZE OF A NICKEL  ?  THAT BATTERY IS CALLED A CMOS  BATTERY .FIRST  OFF TRY CHANGING YOUR TIME SETTINGS IN CONTROL PANEL.I`LL  ASSUME ITS A DAYLIGHT SAVINGS ISSUE .  WHEN THAT BATTERY GETS OLD  OTHER THINGS WILL HAPPEN B4 YOUR CLOCKGOES  AWRY   CMOS  STANDS FOR  [COMPLIMENTARY  METAL  OXIDE SEMICONDUCTOR] YA I KNOW    WHILE YOU ARE  REMOVING CMOS  1ST  DISCONNECT POWER  2ND  USE A  PLASTIC  DEVICE TO GENTLY REMOVEIT. 3RD  WHILE  YOU ARE  IN YOUR CAGE MAKE SURE  ONE OF  YOUR HANDS IS TOUCHING THE METAL PART OF THE CAGE TO DISCHARGE THE BODIES STATIC ELECTRICITY.STATIC DISCHARGE CAN FRY YOUR WHOLE SYSTEM RARELY .THE BATTERY   IS PROBABLY A CR2032.

No...its what your computer uses to syncronize the clock to where you are...so it just makes sure the clock time is right
