Guest danmancs Posted May 31, 2005 Report Posted May 31, 2005 For some reason the clock on my C500 is occasionally reseting it's self to the factory default time and date. I have done a hard rest and this makes no difference. I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar thing happen, and if you think it would be a hardware issue or what? Thanks, Dan.
Guest Confucious Posted June 1, 2005 Report Posted June 1, 2005 Clocks reseting ussually mean a flat backup battery. Have you checked yours?
Guest danmancs Posted June 1, 2005 Report Posted June 1, 2005 Nope, how does one recharge and/or replace it? Cheers.
Guest Confucious Posted June 1, 2005 Report Posted June 1, 2005 Nope, how does one recharge and/or replace it? Cheers. It should recharge automatically (use one of the battery monotoring pieces of software to check it is 100% charged. I'm not sure it can be replaced, I think it's a case of a call to Orange who should replace under warranty if i's not working.

I'm not sure it can be replaced, I think it's a case of a call to Orange who should replace under warranty if i's not working. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have SmartMonitor running, but as far as I can tell it only gives the main battery power... do you know of any util's that will monitor the backup battery level. The only problem I have going back to Orange and getting a warrenty replacement is that even though I am still on a minimum contract with them (and paying Orange care), I am actually living in Australia and using the phone unlocked (by imei-check) on Telstra. Presumably they would want to take my old phone back before they sent me a new one... if they didn't tell me my warrenty was void?? Which means I would be without it for quite a while.
Guest Confucious Posted June 1, 2005 Report Posted June 1, 2005 I have just been looking at a thread where someone has posted a link to the service manual! see http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=...=0entry589748 It might tell you if the backup battery can be changed. To check the state try http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=97958&
Guest danmancs Posted June 2, 2005 Report Posted June 2, 2005 well fizzmonitor shows my backup battery being at 100%, but I guess it doesn't tell me how quickly it loses it's charge when it is disconected from the main battery. The link to the service manual post doesn't seem to work, can you check it again for me? cheers.
Guest hasley Posted June 2, 2005 Report Posted June 2, 2005 Are I the only one who loss the time when unplug the battery? Or I have a defective c500? If c500 (sp3) have a backup battery It should prevents the clock time...
Guest rickwookie Posted July 25, 2005 Report Posted July 25, 2005 My C500 has just started doing this now. Whenever I remove the battery (even for just a second), when I restart that time and date has reset to 12:00 - 01 October 2004. :-(
