My PS/2 50Z's warranty is about to expire. I have had a problem which I have ignored up till now, but perhaps it should be taken care of. As I understand the system clock should continue to run even when the computer is turned off, mine does not. Should this be fixed or is it normal?

If you mean that it can't keep track of time when the computer is off, so that it says 12:00 Midnight January 1st every time you turn it on, then you should definitely bring it in. I don't know about you, but I think a system clock is very important. Having to type in the date and time every time you turn the computer on is very important. -- ----------------------------------------------------------- The Time Traveler This space for rent. a.k.a.

I thought that the battery power is supposed to keep the clock advancing when the system is powered down.
