    Daewoo DT-42A1 not storing settings

    A friend asked me to look at this old-school plasma set.
    It runs fine, still has a good image considering its age but every time it is switched off (at the mains) it "forgets" all its settings.
    I've had a good look around, was hoping to find a lithium or backup battery, or a storage capacitor but there's nothing obvious on the psu or main board.
    Anyone had dealings with these? I know it's not worth a fortune but it would be a shame to bin it.
    TIA.

      What settings? Clock, channels? If you turn it OFF "at the mains" that is the same as unplugug the tv. What happens if you just turn it off with the remote or front power button?

          Hi R_J. There is a mains on/off switch on the set so yes, the same as unplugging it. There is no 'standby' button and also no remote (but I will try and set up a universal and see how that goes). It's the channel settings that is the most noticable/irritating (yes, still using analoge tuner lol!) but it's like it does a factory reset each time it's powered down as it comes on every time with the language selection menu - even after switching off for just a few seconds.

              OK, I found a universal remote, unfortunately it's the same if the set is put into standby - as soon as it comes back on again the tuning has been lost and the language selection comes up again

                  Elitebook 820 G3 engineering example: CMOS settings lost despite new cell
                  by i440bx
                  Hey there,

                  I got a HP Elitebook 820 G3 Engineering Sample Laptop and I want to use it. Besides the difficult things at the ES-BIOS I have a big problem by saving the main BIOS settings.

                  The laptop does not have a big battery because it was dead, but I already plugged in a new CMOS battery.

                  It takes about 5min without power and the BIOS settings are lost. Unfortunatly I dont understand why the BIOS settings are only saved with power connected and this is the reason why I registered here.

                  As written above, I plugged in a new CMOS cell and checked...

                  Asus ROG Ally X -RC72LA - changed hidden bios settings with 'Smokeless-UMAF', won't get past boot logo

                  ASUS ROG Ally X - (Handheld Gaming PC)
                  Model No: RC72LA
                  Serial No: SBNVKD001014459

                  Hi all, I've spent the past week digging through the forums and guides to try correct my foolish mistake of changing hidden settings while tinkering around, and to be honest my heads overloaded so I'm hoping you'll be able to help.

                  I used a tool called 'Smokeless-UMAF' to access usually hidden settings in the bios. I tweaked one or two 'safe' things but made the mistake of tweaking a lot of settings under 'USB/Thunderbolt Configurations' when I didn't know what they did. For...

                  Bad mains power causing TV malfunctions?
                  by chopduel
                  Hi,
                  I've been living in the same apartment for about 5 years now, and moved into it with my old Samsung plasma TV (PS51F5500).
                  Ever since we've moved in, we would sometimes see strange power-cycling behavior. For example:
                  • TV would randomly turn off then back on.
                  • TV would turn off and the LED light would blink for a while (over a minute sometimes) until eventually it went back to a regular off state and could be turned on
                  • Sometimes it would require disconnecting the mains cord from the TV, waiting several minutes, then putting it back in and turning the TV back on. This had limited
                  ...

                  Problem with PANASONIC CF53 laptop after changing BIOS settings
                  by AquaMan Ua
                  Hello. I am asking you for a hint on how to solve the problem with my touchbook Panasonic CF53-2 standart model. After setting up the BIOS, the laptop displays the wrong image until Windows loads. (More precisely, it displays, but distorted, instead of the Panasonic image immediately after turning it on, it displays what is in photo #1 in the attached file) Then the image appears when Windows starts loading and then there are no problems with the screen until the reboot. If you enter the BIOS, just a black screen. If you connect an external screen, the image on it is the same as on the built-in...

                  Various Asus Motherboards losing bios settings
                  by Billydv1@verizon.net
                  Trying to track this down. 3 boards all same problem. Rampage IV Extreme, Z87 Pro, Z97 pro. All boot and function correctly but all lose bios and time settings if power is shut off. If power is maintained, sytrms boot and reboot normally. I have verified cmos battery is supplying 3v to board. 8 pin bios chip has continuity to ground but no voltage to vcc pin. I assume that's the pin that maintains the settings with power to bios chip. How do I track this down? What voltage do these bios chips require?
