MCSH 0 Posted June 1, 2009 SHR-2162P Getting the message "Clock battery has failed". Replaced coin cell, restart gives me a BatteryInfo window in which I can alter date/time, I do so, DVR constantly restarts.......... Any idea ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
khye 0 Posted June 1, 2009 You may need to format the HDD after the battery has been replaced since the timestamps on any stored video will now be out of sync. This "may" cause reboots and might be worth trying out.... had something similar happen before myself.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scorpion 0 Posted June 5, 2009 It may be the RTC chip that is effected. You are not going to get much help from a local shop, unless you can find real electronic hobbyist to locate the chip (next to the battery), and replace it. If it is under warranty then you need to take it back. If it is out of warranty then see if you can find a damaged model on Ebay for the parts. Here is a thread on AVTech DVR battery issues with a link to RTC chip. http://www.cctvforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=16936 It might be enough info to get you started.
