System Clock

[chrislynch]

Hi, Ever since my Vaiowas repaired for the second time in a row the clock is not keeping time, if I shut down the computer and restart it again the clock and date will be the same as when I shut it down.

Has this happened to anyone else and if so has anyone got a solution for it cheers......

It's strange that the clock just stops and doesn't reset to a default. It could be that the real time clock is faulty.

I would contact Sony support as there is a warranty period on the repairs.
