CMOS battery problem or not?

trying to help a friend fix a Satellite L675D-S7040. On every boot up, gets an error message - Error 0271: Check date and time settings // also - Waring 0251: System CMOS checksum bad. The system date is always correct, but the time always goes to 12 am. Figured it might be the CMOS battery, so I took the laptop apart and but it was a soldered battery. So much for a possible quick fix. Figured I'd have to order the battery anyway, so I put a tester on the exsiting battery and it measured 3.2v. I'm not sure what the specs on the battery are, as I've not been able to find them anywhere, but I'd think a 3v battery would be fairly common for this. So...could it be the battery or should I be looking for something else? Upgraded the BIOS to latest. BTW, after doing the F1 to contine thing, laptop runs fine. Any help is appreciated! edit...the date is also off along with the time...seems to keep date from last time on.

Update:
Im now getting two beeps close together followed by one beep after a pause (BB....B) straight after i see the msi splash screen, and i also momentarily (for a split second) see the first bootup screen where it checks RAM but then black screen and nothing...... very weird....could low cmos battery do this ?
PS oh yeah and sorry I also get the single beep (system boot success) initial beep on powerup.
thanks again

5800 does not retain date&time stamp for SMS trans...

I just got a new 5800XM a week ago. I upgraded from a Samsung SGH-C260. When I tried to copy the SMS messages off my SIM and on to the Nokia, all the date and time information of the original messages was lost. I tried the SIM in a new Samsung Star and it was able to read the date and time information without trouble, so obviously the information is there and readable.
Does anyone know of a way to successfully transfer these SMS messages without losing the date and time information?
Thanks!

Paresh - my understanding of the original post is that when she does show startup-config that no date is there. There is an explanation for this.
Narayan - the service timestamps is a good command and I agree that specifying datetime is better than the default of displaying uptime. But this command does not have anything to do with the date in the config file.
What does control the presence (or absence in this case) is whether the router has authoritative time at the time the config was changed or saved. The router can have authoritative time by use of the clock set command or by use of NTP. I believe that NTP is a much better solution.
So if the router really knows correct time it will put the time stamp into the config. And if the router does not know correct time it will supress the time stamp. From the fact that the startup config does not have a time stamp we can believe that the router did not know authoritative time when the config was saved. And I do not know any good way to go back and discover it.

Iphone not ringing, clock not holding correct time and no wi-fi

Man...I thought I had done something, but since the 2.1 update, my phone doesnt ring but for one or two random calls. The clock is also not holding time...it does if i restart the phone but within hours its back to hopping around, trying to get the right time. When it does stop doing that, the time is wrong.
On top of that, it cannot find any wi-fi connections.
Ive restored it to the previous back up and it doesnt do any of this.
Is anyone else having these problems since the update?

If those solutions don't work your iPhone 4s has probably developed a hardware problem. The permanent solution is to get it replaced.
You can search the internet for heating and freezing solutions that might work (at least for a while).
For example, see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nj10bz5bI6A
Root cause: On some iPhone 4s devices there may be a flow soldering problem with the WiFi chip. After long periods of WiFi activity such as installing an iOS update (for example, iOS 7 or iOS 8) there may be a connection failure. A work-around to this is the procedure in the youTube video.

Why is my iPod skipping and not holding a time?

I have a 4G 40GB clickwheel. It has recently begun skipping briefly every minute or so when playing any songs. I'm sure it's not the songs.
It also will no longer hold the time when I set the clock. It keeps reverting to 12 a.m. Jan. 1, 2002.
I have recently been using an iHome to charge it. The skipping happens regardless of whether I am listening via the iHome or headphones.
Can anyone help? Thanks.

You may want to try a restore.

IPhone 5 won't hold Date & Time "set automatically."

Date & Time, when "set automatically," arbitrarily resets itself to a date and time in August.
Setting Date & Time manually works fine.
There is a thread on this glitch on the Apple Forums. It's happening in all time zones.
Apple says it's a Verizon issue.
Verizon claims it's an Apple software problem.
Anyone got a definitive answer for this?

This is the same info I posted in the Apple forum about my attempts to resolve this issue so far...
So this is what I have tried...
Turn off Auto Time and set time manually.... Fail
Reset All Settings (under General menu).... Fail
Leave disconnected from Wi-Fi.... Fail
Restore software and set up from back up.... Fail
Restore and set up as new phone... Fail
Replace phone at Apple Store... Fail
Replace sim card at Verizon store.... Fail
Restore firmware using a fresh downloaded file... Fail
Restore firmware and set up from scratch with a new iTunes account without downloading any apps, contacts or anything.... Fail
I have verified the date/time settings on my 2 month old MacBook Pro I use to sync phones
I have verified the date/time settings on my Linksys router (not that that matters because the time changes when its not connected to the router)
All of the above has been done on both a white and a black 16gig iPhone 5 on Verizon...
The date/time for both is always behind 14 days 18 hours 48 minutes and 19 seconds so that tells me it is keeping time with something... Lets collectively compile all this info so we can get to the bottom of this problem and get it worked out quickly

My Podcast in iTunes not showing Date, Time, Description.

Hello
I recorded my Podcast through GB Exported to Disk>Desktop> Then I used Rapidweaver I guess to publish it. but when iTunes receives the Podcast for some reason Date, Time and Episode Description is missing. newbie thanks in advance.

None of your episodes have playable media: it's necessary for each episode to have an 'enclosure' tag containing the URL of a media file - mp3. m4a, mp4, m4v, or mov - without this iTunes will not display the episodes. You say it was working before, so something has been done to the feed to change it.
Following the link from the top episode:
http://expertenough.com/1123/18-expert-quotes
produces what is basically a weblog entry with no sign of any media.

"Show logging" displays the switch UP time not the Date & time

Hi,
i have cisco 2950 switch, when i type the show logging, what ever event has happend i am getting like this "26w6d: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface FastEthernet0/24, changed state to down" but it is not showing the date & time when the event has occured, so every time i need to check the show version & have to see the switch up time & then i need to calculate. is there any configuration has to be done where i should get the information of the date & time in place of switch up time eg. like this...
"Sep4 4:15: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface FastEthernet0/24, changed state to down"

what you could do is to enable timestamping if not already done so.
2950(config)# service timestamp debug datetime msec
2950(config)# service timestamp log datetime msec
or you can use SNMP to provide traps of the 'events' that occur on the device.
these SNMP traps will provide the date, time and trap.
what version IOS on that device? have you enabled timestamping? have you upgrade lately? perhaps an upgrade could be of assistance. i'll verify the operation on some 2950s i have to confirm if i have the same issue or not and what version is being used. i'll post the result when available.

Battery allowed to discharge and Date/Time settings lost

My wife left her MBP opened and unplugged. The battery completely discharged. When she powered the computer with a power cord, the Date/Time were completely wrong. She also lost her network settings.
To me, this sounds like the internal (bios) battery has a minimum voltage. Does anyone have some insight to this before I go struggle with the Genius Bar?

I had the same problem; I let it go, as it seemed to be fine after charging.
Now I've just started up with a full charge - and had the same problem!
Does anyone know if the date & time etc settings are kept from a seperate battery (one of those tiny lithium jobs) or if it uses a "trickle" off the main battery? Has anyone else experienced this?
I will call support for this as the machine's only 3 months old.
Insight appreciated...!

Very very short battery life - will not hold charge on new ipad mini retina, HELP

My iPad mini retina OS7 will not hold it's battery charge. I have turned off Location services, do not have apps running in multitude task mode and do not have Bluetooth on. I close all aps and the smart case and come back in an hour and find charge will still have gone down 10 to 30%

Some ideas.

Otherwise if they don't help take it to an Apple store if possible, they should be able to confirm if the battery is worn oout or some other fault.

ITunes not showing Date, Time or Episode Description??

Hello
I recorded my Podcast through GB Exported to Disk>Desktop> Then I used Rapidweaver I guess to publish it. but when iTunes receives the Podcast for some reason Date, Time and Episode Description is missing. should I use Feedburner instead. newbie thanks in advance.

I am having the same problem, did you have get this issue resolved?

MBP 2010 6,2 battery is dying not holding charge so it seems

My MBP is < 1 yr old. The battery "normally" is ok BUT usually I have it plugged in the charger when ever I use it. I just left and shutdown (I never put to sleep) and was gone for about 1.25 hours. When I came back I just turned it on and the battery was in red saying 0:33 min remaining.
Now this time I did NOT have it plugged in (like I always do) and so I shutdown and then plugged into the wall (just normal thing usually) and started it up and now it says (1:27) and is charging.
Why would the battery be "near death"? It is "new".......do alot of people have problems with the battery?
SOMETIMES it does this but most of the time it does not.
So does anyone think the battery is FUBAR or what?
Any suggestions before I take it to the Apple store? I got 3 years of Applecare so not worried about things as this SHOULD be covered under Applecare.
This is right now at posting.

Hey prairied0gg,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
It is very hard to determine what is causing the reboots. What I would suggest though is to perform a clean application load without any 3rd party applications. I would keep it in this state for 1 week to determine if any random reboots happen.
To perform the clean application load: www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB11320

Recently added album - photos are not correct date / time order

Hi,
I've noticed in the iOS8 'Recently Added' photo album that the pictures are not displaying in the proper order based on the date and time that the picture was taken.
They seem to be displaying based on upload time, meaning, the time they were uploaded to iCloud when the phone had a wifi connection.
My Wife and I share a photostream between phones, which means her photos may be uploaded at a different time than mine based on our wifi connection.
This causes the order of the pictures to be incorrect.
Has anyone else seen this and possibly know of a workaround?
This does not affect photo collections.
Thank you for your courage.

I never got an actual answer to this either. I searched all over the place but never found anything definitive...
I am guessing that recent photos now displaying photos based on upload time is the default / intended behavior... it would be nice if there was a way to make it display in chronological order again like the photostream did. In the meantime, collections is not affected by this at least.

Numbers not sorting date/time correctly

I would be grateful if someone can chime in - it's very simple thing and maybe I'm overlooking something.
I have 3 columns:
DATE - DESCRIPTION - TIME
I need to sort them out by date, then by time.
It works only for date cells - upon inspection I have noticed that time cells have creation date stamp as well which messes sorting up.
Any suggestions ?
Sorting like this works fine in Excel.

Hi Alex,
As has been stated (or implied) above, every every date and/or time displayed in Numbers is a Date and Time value marking a specific instant in time.
Values that have been entered as date only (eg. October 1, 2012) mark the instant that day begins (eg. October 1, 2012 00:00:00).
Values that have been entered as time only mark that instant on the day on which the entry was made (or in cases such as pop-up menu items, the day on which the item was created as a menu item).
Values that have been entered as full Date and Time values mark the date and time that was entered.
Here are three possible approaches to sorting your table 'correctly':
Enter the Date and Time as a single and complete Date and time value (see example above), using a single column for these entries.
OR
Add a column containing a formula that extracts the time value from the Date and Time values in column C of your example table, then do the two-stage sort on your Date column then the new column as described in your initial post. See example below.
Before sorting:
After sorting (as indicated in Reorganize pane):
OR
Format your "Time" column as Text. Enter all "Time"s in 24 hour format (00:00 to 23:59), and use the two-stage sort you describe.
Each of these will sort correctly using Numbers as it is supplied. Should you think Numbers shoud stop supporting ISO 8601, the International Standard for the representation of dates and times, the most effective place to make that recommendation would be via the Feedback channel. Use the Provide Numbers Feedback menu item in the Numbers menu (in Numbers) to request this change.

Barry

How can I display date+time and not the point number in excell?

Hi everyone,
Could anybody tell me how I can save date + time to a file, so that I can display on a diagram(excel) : date+time in (ox) and data (oy)? :
My program sets in (ox) the point number and not the date+time....( although date and time are written correctly in the column...)
Any help would be great,
Thanks,
regards,
Marc

hi there,
excel uses 01.01.1900 00:00 as the time offset, LabVIEW uses 01.01.1904 02:00, so you can't display the correct datetime in excel when you write the time as a fractional number of seconds from LabVIEW. you must format the datetime in LabVIEW to a string and write that to the column. use the "Format Date/Time String" - function and for example "%d.%m.%Y %H:%M:%S%3u" as the format string (see the functions help for more examples). you also could format your data to a string using "Format Into String" - function and write the file as a 2D string array. the decimal point you have to use depends on your system and its settings, but you can specify the decimal point in the Format string like "%.;%f" (means fractional number with point as decimal point).
best regards
chris
