Default Troubleshooting computers

I have a related question: how would you troubleshoot a motherboard which
resets CMOS to default every time a/c power is shut off, even with a fresh
battery?



Bad CMOS ram or bad battery connection. How much current does it draw from
the battery while off?



If you can measure that, you've got a d*mned good meter.
