Amiga One rare case of disfunctioning

[Tomas]

I agree with the rest.. It is most likely the battery.

My Amiga One G3 is now on the repair center and
now I will wait one more week to see if they can fix it.

Why did you not try replacing the battery before doing that? And is this repair center specialized in Amigas? If not, then they wont know what to do and might do more harm than good, since PC's does not have this problem when batteries run out.

OK I apreciatte the comments of everyone,but why the batteries run out on the Amiga Ones and not on the PCs?

They both run out.. But a pc will boot up and work just fine even when the battery is drained. On the pc the battery is only used for keeping the clock going right and keeping the settings in the bios. Also on the pc the battery can often last for over 10 years, while the amigaone suffers from a odd problem that causes the battery to drain much more quickly.

Swapping the battery is not something you need to send it the computer for, it is something you can do yourself. Just pop out the battery and take it to a clock store or computer store and pop in the new one.. Someone already posted a picture where this battery is located. The battery does not cost most than a couple of bucks max either.

As the center is more Hardware oriented than Amiga or other computer oriented,I see the possibility to give new life to my Amiga One.

The problem is like i said that PC's dont behave the same way and that there is infact nothing wrong with your amigaone at all if it is the battery.

I would call it either bad design or manufacturing error.

That is exactly what it is. But there is sadly not much one can do about this, considering that neither eyetech or mai logic exist anymore.
