| Real Time clock Question Hello, I have a Toshiba laptop which keeps terrible time and I was just wondering if anyone has successfully adjusted the RTC in a laptop to keep better time. I understand these quartz clocks usually use an oscillator tuned to 32768Hz and if properly adjusted they keep pretty good time but the trouble is that few if any of the companies turning out these clocks actually adjust them. At the moment i set my clock fast by 6 seconds and allow it to drift across zero for 6 additional seconds this gives me 54 hours of usable RTC time. But I would very much like to reduce that error from its current loss of 1 second every 4.5 hours of elapsed time UTC. I guess the oscillator needs to be speeded up somehow. The laptop of which I speak is a Toshiba Satellite 205CDS. -- Regards; gmv |
