THE basic plate This is one of the most important components of the PC because it is responsible for managing all of all Components Which connected. The entire motherboard configuration is kept in the equipment, even if it is disabled by a CR232 battery, a battery which has an autonomy of around 10 years. This battery is also known as CMOS drums, it is already responsible for storage of BIOS information, the motherboard operating system.
When we make changes in the BIOS, they are stored in the CMOS and remain stored through the energy source This provides the battery, more than enough energy than storing it for long periods. When the battery of the base plate stops working, when it is exhausted, Delete all data which are stored in the CMOS. However, its operation does not prevent that the computer can start normally.
The only problem we can be faced with when the battery of the basemate is exhausted is, in addition to losing the day and the time, losing everything configuration Specific which had as a start order, the Overclock configuration that we could have, the operation of fans if we have changed it to adapt it to our needs among other things
If we turn on the PC and the battery has filled its life cycle, the motherboard uses the default configurationThat is to say with the one who comes from the factory, the configuration which, for most users, is more than sufficient. Regarding the date and time, it is also used as that established by the motherboard which, logically, does not correspond to the real.
Although this may be, it is not necessary to modify the date and time of the motherboard before starting the equipment if the battery has been exhausted, because Windows is automatically responsible for doing so. But, when the team goes out, if we unplug it from the current or deactivate the power supply, at the start of the team, we will see how the date and time configuration was lost again.
When you change the battery from the base plate
The duration of a motherboard is around 10 years, so the possibility of being exhausted, we have stopped using the equipment.
The unequivocal symptom that the battery of the base plate has stopped operating is when We lose the date and time team. If we do BIOS Change And, despite the safeguarding of changes, whenever we start the team, they have been erased is another clear indicative that it is necessary to change it.
Although it is generally not common, if the team shows Messages on the screen Before loading the operating system linked to the CMOS, what we need to do is delete the battery is to wait about 30 minutes before installing it again so that any stored configuration is definitively erased.
