Resurrecting GM8 Part 2

Bill Gardner All Messages By This Member #67187 Thanks to those that answered my last question regarding the mount screws. Have them replaced, even if two trips to Home Depot had to occur because when my wife went for me, the girl helping her had no clue about screw dimensions.? New question. I have Gemini 1 with the round plugs. It’s old, so no surprise that the 2032 battery would need replacing. Problem, still get the message CMOS reset on every startup with new battery. Measure the voltage with the correct 3v.? Any ideas? Bill Gardner -- _____________ Pictor Observatory Twitter: @pictorobs Minor Planet 21350 - billgardner
Michael Herman All Messages By This Member #67189 Hi Bill, The first time you boot up with a new battery you will get the CMOS reset message. After you enter correct UTC time, etc, then shut off the G1, ...next reboot it should be fine.? If your unit is still acting defective, ... David Partridge in UK, Brendan Smith in Australia, and I in USA do repairs of G1s.? There are a few components that could go bad and cause the constant Reset messsges.? No way to fix it without seeing it... All the best!
