People -- opinions, please...
My antique and much loved Athlon 800, 98 SE Paris box, is maybe
getting a little o-l-d...
For instance: system clock has lost its mind... Thinks it's still
September something, and whatever the hell time... If I set it to
present day-and-time it will be half a week off again by this time
next week... Can't be good, right? Also, the thing just sort of
doesn't boot up at all about one time out of ten... Like, nothing...
Lights blink, wheels spin, but no POST screen, no Windoze, nada...
Power down, power up again, and up she wakes, at least so far...
It's an Ancient Abit mobo from the Flintstone days (slate based, I
think, sturdy but inflexible)...
Anyway -- ain't there some kind of battery lurking on that board
somewhere? Could that thing have bonked (what a surprise, right?)?
Thing is -- this box just keeps on ticking, and mostly all I've done
with this over the last five years is record and mix and record and
mix etc. Would hate to junk it over some minor issue like what day
it is...
-- wisdom welcome as always -- thanks -- Chas.
