That is certainly an avenue to look down, his battery is Lithium so
wouldn't fall into the category of recharging....his problem may be
solved as he has taken up the offer of a posting earlier in this thread
which should get his system back up and running. Coincidental isn't it
that there is another thread elsewhere in this group on almost the same
topic, only I am told by my friend that his clock had been playing up
for a week or two!!!! Many thanks to all who responded......
