A4000 won't start due to flat battery
« on: August 09, 2008, 06:24:41 PM »
Hi Guys,

I've got an A4000 that has trouble starting after not being used for a few days. It does eventually start but the time and date have reset to midnight January 1st 1978. I'm now switching it on for about 2 hours every couple of days, and this is keeping it happy.

I'm curious to know the minimum hours per week to run an A4000 to keep the battery topped up?

:pint:

Thanks for your thoughts guys :pint:

Previously I've only ever experienced a Compaq Deskpro PC being completely unable to start due to a flat battery. Anyway, I'll get the battery changed soon. That Super Lithium battery in ZeBeeDee's link looks nice :-)

:cheers:

stomp stomp ;-)


I hope your feet are stomping because you are giving the A4000 a push start, and not because you stamping it into the ground ;-)
