WHAT THE FUCK Sup Forums? WHY WOULD THEY SEND PEOPLE PRODUCTS THAT ARE DEAD ON ARRIVAL? AND SENDING IT BACK IS A BITCH IN A HALF WITH IT TAKING NEARLY A WEEK TO GET TO THE MANUFACTURER
I JUST WANTED A TASTE OF THE PC LIFE

Imagine getting your dick sucked by that semen demon
PCs use batteries now?
What sound would that make?
their saliva is toxic
dont ask how i know this
THE PSU, SAME FUCKING SHIT
Desktops don't use batteries.
OP is a retard.
Assuming you mean motherboard battery , it costs less than a dollar.
Motherboard was most likely used?
>skimping on an uncharged battery
Kek I bet you used generic pc oil to lube the parts too
No it's not you drooling baboon.
Go back to your xbox you tool.
Im talking about the psu
YEAH ITS MY FAULT THE COMPANY SENT ME A PSU THAT WAS DEAD ON ARRIVAL YEAH FUCK YOURSELFJ
that would probably kill you because their mouths are so full of bacteria they are literally toxic
Motherboards use batteries???
Just change the battery. Probably the easiest and cheapest repair to make on a motherboard. If you can even call that a repair.
All motherboards have a battery on them you faggot, they never turn off.
Why didn't you buy the crucial parts from a store? Postal services play soccer with your packages. You are taking a big risk when you order fragile things like motherboards and PSUs.
>dont ask how i know this
You know it from a book, documentary or youtube, it's not like a Komodo dragon confessed it to you whilst he was drunk.
In building a PC too.
MSI or Asus for my motherboard?
>return it
>go to your nearest electonics shop
>buy the same thing
>don't have to wait
was that hard? in two to three weeks you'll have your money back and would have already realized that maybe a console would have been a better decision, because fuck all you've been playing this last two weeks is DOTA
...
Get the fuck out. No they don't.
>Desktops don't use batteries.
What do you think is in the motherboard powering the bios clock?
Shit like this is why I stay away from PC "gaming", everything is such a chore.
So you bought a 20$ psu and surprised that it's shit.
well komodo dragons probably do have a bunch of bacteria in their mouths as well
I want a PC because I don't like paying for online and because I like using cheats, which have disappeared over the last console generation. PC will let me mod my games and have more fun with them.
>being literally incapable of swapping out a battery
I hope you never experience a real problem when it does turn on, you simp
CR2032
Small lithium cell that allows to keeps your real time clock and bios settings when you unplug the whole box from power.
Bites that kill people from infection are a myth. The Walking Dead isn't real.
Are you actually fucking retarded
what if the komodo dragon had rabies?
>days, even weeks of waiting fort all parts
>hours spend assembling
>hours waiting while Windows is being installed
>you can just buy a prebuild for a couples bucks more and use the time saved to work extra hours to match the pricedifference and then some.
Smart move PC faggots ;)
Yes, motherboards do in fact have a battery.
It's mostly only used to keep the clock going.
The clock I can see as a minor problem at best. Bios settings can be saved on non volatile memory (why they aren't already is crazy).
Did you try the PSU paper clip test to confirm it's actually broken and you just didn't connect the case power button to wrong pins on motherboard?
So do all animals including dogs but dumbasses still kiss them
For the cache memory mang
>days
>under an hour
>under 30 minutes
>satisfaction of knowing you did it yourself, as well as having the knowledge and experience to be able to fix any hardware problems that occur without having to pay someone else
>cheaper
Dumb move shitposter
Yes tried that shit and everything. It was completely fucked. Now after a full week its just now getting to the manufacturer. I'd imagine its gonna take another full week to get back.
I just hope it actually works this time and they actually test it
How do they keep the time offline?
I have an Asus mobo, over 4 years old now and it hasn't had any issues whatsoever
RMA that shit. You think admission into the master race is a right? No, it's a privilege.
>MSI ANYTHING
Hope you only like play games for 2 years max
>The clock I can see as a minor problem at best.
That's because you use your PC for unimportant shit.
It would be annoying as hell to set date and time after every power glitch and lot of shit would break if you couldn't be bothered (security certificates, windows networking, lots of POS stuff and other 'professional' shit people depend on, yes I'm did-you-tried-to-turn-it-off-and-on-again IT drone dealing with this shit)
>Bios settings can be saved on non volatile memory (why they aren't already is crazy).
Yeah,that would be really wonderful when settings go bad for whatever reason (bios bug, retarded overclocker settings, virus) and you have to haul your rig to nearest repair shop to reset that shit because you can't just pull a jumper that disconnects the battery clearing the ram.
Sure it could be worked around by adding 'reset circuitry' but why bother when it would be more expensive and more prone to failure because of added complexity.
TL;DR version: don't try to fix something that doesn't need fixing.
I guess you were unlucky then. I've received one faulty part over the years and it was a memory module.
don't buy refurbished, dumbass
All computer parts have an internal clock so they know when they have to break, those need batteries to work
I don't know why, but it took me a long time to realize that's actually a scissor
I didn't buy refurbished.
Circle of life is pretty scary sometimes
TO EVERYONE WHO SAYS PC'S DON'T USE BATTERIES.
MOTHERBOARD, DO YOU KNOW? You know that little battery sitting on it.
Show me what happens if you remove it Sup Forums
Definitely Asus. Had a motherboard of theirs for the past five years, which just died last month.
I got an MSI as a replacement and all it's done is throw a 99 error on screen. Apparently MSI themselves aren't fully sure of what causes that, so that's awesome.
Except OP has a faulty PSU, it's nothing to do with the cmos battery. this thread went off topic because of a few people who probably haven't even taken the side off a desktop before.
>Show me what happens if you remove it Sup Forums
Bios starts with default values and 00:00 1.1.1980 time and date.
