Thank you for tip.

>Nowadays the real time clock (RTC) is often a small black plastic rectangular box, often with a brand name and the initials "RTC" somewhere on it. It doesn't look much like any sort of traditional battery. It should be socketed into the motherboard so you can replace it. Make sure you get the same make/model (or a listed equivalent) for correct voltage, pinout, etc.

>>>I think the word you were looking for is erratic. Heretic is a person who doesn't subscribe to a particular religious belief. I mean you no offence. I find it funny to think of a computer as a heretic. I've sometimes wondered if mine was possessed. So, if your computer is a heretic, it should be burned at the stake <g> and you won't have to worry about the time. If its merely erratic, I had a bad battery in a computer once that caused all kinds of weird problems with any thing stored in the CMOS.

>>>Hope that helps.
