i have this jvc vcr.that i have to reset clock every time power goes off i have to reset the ckock. can you please tell me where in the chassi is the battery or cap that keep the clock on when the power plug is taken out of the wall so i don't have to adjust the clock every time power goes off. Thanks.

Re: vcr jvc hr-j610u
Never tinkered with VCR's but I imagine it's a soldered on battery in there somewhere.
Will likely be near time circuit which would have a quartz crystal chip as part of the clock. Those are chips are usually mounted in metal cans about the size of a MOSFET that are shaped/look like a can of Spam (rectangular box with rounded corners) and with two leads.Mann-Made Global Warming.

yeah, should be near the display, if not even on its pcb.
it's a high capacity cap...Comment

Wow all the crappy VCRs I've had didn't have this feature

You lose power you reset the date and clock

Re: vcr jvc hr-j610u
They have to have a clock circuit to have a preset recording function.
That doesn't mean the clock has to have a battery back-up.
It wouldn't be hard to put one in even if it doesn't have one.
Find the power to the clock circuit and stick a nicad in parallel.Mann-Made Global Warming.

well, it needs facilities to do so, nicd charger circuit etc.Comment

Re: vcr jvc hr-j610u
The "clock" is the 60hz from the transformer to set the pace on the linear power supply or a 32KHz crystal or multiples of 32KHz frequency if needed if using switching PSU.
But a battery to hold over the clock and settings, I haven't seen one unless is high end version. So far, not yet.

sanyo from 1989.(not high end at all) has it.
i'm sure i've seen it on more vcrs, although i didn't pay much attention to recent models as that wasn't the issue they had.
(that clock is used to show blinking 00:00 most of the time anyway..hehe)
also, if the op is asking, i guess it means he had that working, and now it doesn't anymore, just like it happens with that battery/capacitor (slowly losing capacity).
changing it on my old sanyo helped, but it didn't last long.
offcourse, if it never worked, it won't work in the future either...heh
60hz?
i thought only cheap and crappy digital clocks use that.
that's pretty unaccurate time keeping.
vcrs usually have cpus that control everything(ic that does display, remote control, buttons, tuner presets system etc.) , and they need quartz crystal to work.
why would they be using main grid if they have that?Comment

Re: vcr jvc hr-j610u
Actually accurate. I'm aware of utilites changing freq in 24 hour period but they do even it out to low errors.
In fact, one type of chassis in JVC TVs I worked on often, high end has 60Hz optisolator from hot side to cold side that fed cycles to the microcontroller for what? Time keeping and far more accurate.

Re: vcr jvc hr-j610u

time keeping is more accurate if you do it on 60hz vs. few mhz?

hehe...
quartz clock can easilly beat this

though yeah, it's much better than i thought....i guess my clock was crappy chinese shit and/or my mains are too dirty for it...heh...Comment

Re: vcr jvc hr-j610u
just checked my vcr; panasonic from 2003 and it has clock backup.
nothing hi-end about it, vhs hifi model that wasn't too expensive...

Re: vcr jvc hr-j610u
Thanks guys for your help i'm not very good at vcr repair for one you need paciece of a monk, the other i have no touch for it special when it comes to the mecanism, all i needed was a location Part# in the chassis. i don't know if this jvc vcr ever had the memorie, but i owned a few vcrs like Panasonic,Sony,magnavox,rca my other present vcr and a few others and all when i unplug the wall the clock stays on, so wouls assume that this one wounn't be diferente,any way don't make a big deaL of it.thanks in advance.and A Happy New Year.Comment

can someone please help elaborate if a bad cap will affect time / clock functions. My fancy coffee machine has a preset pour for espressos's all of the presets are way out of wack what use to be 25 seconds is now 12.
I am about to replace the psu caps but need some guidance if a bad cap would slow down or speed up clock functions? -

I have 3 of these in my home for over 10 years now and Im planning on replacing them as I lean towards a Philips Hue home setup.
They are great units but they lost the ability to keep/store the time and settings after power outages and brown outs.
I knew it was a battery in there somewhere but never got around to looking into it.
Well an opportunity came for me to remove this from its home in my wall so I disassembled it to see what was going on.
I found a 3.6V LIR1632 battery spot... -
Samsung QLED QN50Q — purchased 2022 started experiencing a delay in the picture coming on in the morning less than 2 years later. Did not know the term boot loop at that time. As the loop delay ran into a few minutes did all the recommended troubleshooting, soft and hard reset, changing cables and outlet locations, no help. As the delay increased contacted Samsung tech group and allow them remote access the tv. Tech was moving too fast to see exactly what he was doing but this ultimately it was also no help. Lived with the delay until it stretched out over 6 hours. Pulled of off the back cover... -
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... -
hi
ive got a modern digital clock radio approx 15yrs old
my question is how long can a clock radio or a simple radio last ss farcas operating hours?
since elec components have limited hour lifecspan i would imagine the radio or clock radio would eventually fail.
the reason i ask is because i have my clock radio on radio function 24/7 for the past 7 years and its still working fine....i leave the radio on ..never turn off past 7years...thats approx 60000 hours
it uses very little power just a few watts i would imagine that may have something...
