      Check the terminals running from the battery holder to the motherboard. Also, is there an oscillator for the time/date timekeeping? If so, check those terminals and resolder the CMOS battery's terminals and resolder the oscillator's terminals and report back on the status.
      Don't buy those $10 PSU "specials". They fail, and they have taken whole computers with them.

      My computer doubles as a space heater.

              Thinkpad W541 (20EG) Q1, weird behavior after SPI flashing (3 flashes of power button LED)
              by dj-bobr
              Hi,
              I kindly ask for help with Thinkpad BIOS/ME repair.
              Thinkpad W541 board bought from Aliexpress, so I have no service tag nor S/N. It is 1GB version Q1 (K1100 nVidia GPU). BIOS 2.23, EC 1.13, ME 9.1.32.1002.
              It worked fine until I tried to remove whitelist.

              Steps taken:
              - battery out, CMOS coin cell out, laptop disassembled; I kept LAN/USB subboard connected
              - i took SPI programmer (CH341A with 3.3V mod) and SOIC clip and did a full backup of all SPI flash chips (SPI1 and SPI2 - BIOS, EC, ME, GbE; SPI3 - video BIOS; SPI4 - Thunderbolt fw) for several...

              Adding a clock battery to action camera to retain date&time when changing batteries Campark X25
              by flat-earther
              I have a cheap action camera with an annoying trait, every time I change batteries the date & time gets reset and I have to set it again.

              To solve this problem I want to add a small internal battery inside it which will keep supplying power to the camera for a while while I change batteries so the date & time is retained.

              I have opened the camera and I think there is enough room to add something inside to accomplish this:

              The camera is powered by a 3.7V nominal single cell lithium ion battery.
              So I need to connect another battery in...

              Thinkpad X1 Carbon "LMQ-1MB 12298-2 48.4LY26.021" VCC3M problem
              by Zeonalbasta
              i have a problem with thinkpad X1 carbon gen 2 "LMQ-1MB 12298-2 48.4LY26.021"
              The laptop was turned off because the MOSFET was not transmitting voltage. After checking it turned out that the gate pin on the MOSFET was the problem, because it was producing an inappropriate voltage. and it was discovered that the problem was with the Think engine, so I decided to reprint each pin, and finally the mosfet could work properly. However, there is another problem, even though the voltage has been supplied to the laptop, it still won't turn on, there isn't even an LED indicator. After double...
