    Losing date & time.

    I always lose correct date and time when I shut down and restart.
    I have replaced batter even though it checks OK. I reset the circuit board,and then it can be turned on.
    Is this a possible board replacement such as the one near my airport card?

    You didn't mention the type of computer you are getting this issue on.

      It sounds like a bad BIOS chip.
      I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

      No wonder it doesn't work! You installed the jumper wires backwards

        Airport card? Sounds like a Mac.

          Bad PRAM battery most likely. Either a coin cell or a little pack somewhere depending on the model.
