#Clock Won't Stay Set
4 messages in this thread
Is there a reason why my A2000 internal clock refuses to retain the
date/time settings I give it in the Preferences drawer?
Everytime I reboot (warm or cold) my settings return to January, 1978.
Thanks in advance.

You might try typing "setclock save" (no quotes) on the shell after you set
the time to the current one. If that doesn't help, you may need to have the
clock battery checked (don't know where or by whom though…).

Try doing a 'setclock reset' command from the CLI. Then set your time, and
do a 'setclock save'.

Steve –
If saving the clock doesn't work, take a short wire and briefly short out the
clock battery. It is on the front of the board and is the little blue barrel
soldered to the left of the keyboard connector in socket BT809. This will often
restore it. If not, we can get you one.
