Can't "save" time

coope1999 · 17 January 2016, 23:17

Hi,

I've got a bit of a strange problem. I'm using cwb 3.9 which has been fine but over the last couple of weeks my time is wrong and when I go into prefs to open up the time settings I cannot save the new time because the save button is greyed out.

What gives?

Thanks,

Craig

That sounds like the OS hasn't detected a real-time clock module. What accelerator have you got? Is the battery dead on the clock module? If you have an old-style barrel battery, is it leaking? Remove or replace it before it does!

Sometimes the clock circuit needs a reset. There is an old program called Chronos to do that.

It's a coin battery on my 4000. I'll try and reset it later.

Well I tried to reset the clock with something from Aminet but it says it could not detect a clock battery. I tried putting in a new battery and still the same.

The clock resets to the time and day I installed the OS (I think)

Any more ideas?

Thanks

Brute force overwrites the clock's registers with zeroes. If there still is a clock, this should reset it.

Thanks. I'll try tonight. The mobo had acid damage and it was fixed previous to my ownership. I'm worried it wasn't fixed well enough.

Ok I ran your file and it says:

Wrong number of arguments
Setclock failed returncode 20

coope1999 · 22 January 2016, 00:19

Well I think I've come to the conclusion that the mobo is infact damaged which I'm gutted about. I guess it could be worse as I don't have any other issues with this thing. Anyway I have downloaded NetClock and set it to automatically fetch the time when I open up Miami. This will have to do for the time being!

Thanks,

Craig
