cmos battery (continued)
the other day i posted concerning a machine
that booted up ok...but would then shut down in about ten minutes (even with no harddrive...just sitting there idling) after exhausting all other possibilites...it worked fine after replacing a low (1.7 v) cmos battery well i had another board in my junk pile that had the same symptoms (but i could not bear to throw it out) well...the cmos battery was also around 1.7 v and when i put in a new one it works fine now so i guess i;ve learned something
