I've got an old (built approximately four years ago) Shuttle SN45G
which I've just booted up after it being left in storage for a few
months. On the first boot I found that all the BIOS settings had been
erased/forgotten, so I reconfigured them all and everything worked
fine. However, if I power down the machine and disconnect it from the
mains all the settings are erased again (this doesn't happen if I just
switch off the machine, only if I disconnect it from the mains power
supply as well).
I'm guessing the battery on the motherboard might have gone - is this
likely to be the case? If so, is it easy to source and replace new
batteries?,
(I'm running Windows 2000 with all the relevant drivers, though I
don't think the OS is the cause of the problem).
Thanks in advance for any help/pointers.
