BIOS date and time in a Pentium 4 not adjustable.
A Pentium 4 with Intel system board here.
When powered up the screen displays GB85010A.86A.0078.P18.0110081719 ... CMOS Battery Low CMOS Date/Time Not Set No response to any keys when attempting to adjust date and time. No problem changing other BIOS parameters. This is only to prevent the user from adjusting the clock when it can't keep time with power off? A failure in the BIOS? Thanks, ... Peter E. |

Change the battery. It is possible that the low battery condition is preventing any further action.

The parameters of the BIOS are grooved in a Flash memory
THe date/time comes from a clock circuit ; it needs a higher minimum voltage for operate Peter Easthope a écrit : A Pentium 4 with Intel system board here.

Check the onscreen instructions carefully (normally on the bottom row) on what keys to press to change item values. Sometimes it's F5/F6, sometimes something else like direct entry (guess you tried that). -- Adrian C |

As others mentioned, you probably need to replace the battery first. It may be blocked due to that. The most common battery is a CR2032, although you can possibly use a CR2025 or CR2016 in a pinch if you happen to have one. The only difference is the thickness. 3.2mm, 2.5mm, 1.6mm. Some of those older boards had a potted module with a 0.6" chip form factor. IIRC: it was a Dallas RTC chip (which may have been more or less compatible with the original Motorola chipset RTC). That had a couple of lithium coin cells stuck on top and potted. |

Thanks for the replies.

Any further thoughts before scrapping the board? Thanks, ... Peter E. |

Hi Peter, Are there two pins on the motherboard that you can temporarily short that will clear the CMOS settings? -- David Farber Los Osos, CA |

Something gross !!
Are you sure that during BIOS setting, your keyboard is Numlock ? Peter Easthope a écrit : A Pentium 4 with Intel system board here.

There is a pin set J8C2; described here. http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/...000005690.html With the jumper on 2-3, a maintenance menu added in the BIOS configuration allows passwords to be cleared. No evidence of any password set but I cleared all. After that put the jumper back to the normal 1-2 position and booted again. Still could not adjust the clock but the "Save changes and proceed" option worked and the system booted. Not sure that clearing the passwords made a difference. I could have just failed to recognize how to pass the clock problem earlier. Bender wrote, What OS? - most I've seen have time and date icon on the taskbar, have you tried setting it there? Debian and antiX. Now that I see how to start the OS, will try to set the clock there. Look165 wrote, ... Numlock ? Numlock is ok. Will return to this machine February 13 or later. Appears promising now. Thanks for the help, ... Peter E. |
