I have an 80-Data 286 motherboard-- a Turbo-12 relabled Turbo-10. Can anyone tell me what the jumper marked "charge" is for? The motherboard works perfect, except it will not keep it's setup. Every- time it is turned on it says "CMOS Ram Checksum Error" (or something like that) and asks if I want to run the setup program (I am using an AMI BIOS). The battery is good, and connected correctly. It works fine as long as I dont turn the machine off. If I just hit RESET it will boot correctly. I have also used the "Landmark Setup" program (lm-setup.com) with the same results. I was wondering if the "charge" jumper had any effect on the battery and thus the CMOS RAM. Any ideas? - David K -- David Kessner - david@kessner.denver.co.us | do { 1135 Fairfax, Denver CO 80220 (303) 377-1801 (p.m.) | . . .

I'm not sure speaking about it, becouse the fact that you haven't specified the type of Battery (on matherboard, external, Lithium, Alcaline). A lot of matherboard can use many different type of battery, and if you have problem with one, you can change it. Some time the re-charger will not work after years of well-known work. So, you can only try with a non-rechargeable battery pack.
