Or are you talking about a Norstar that has "Meridian" on the phone? Or are you talking about a BCM ? If CON is the opposite of PRO Then what is the opposite of Progress?

Get your vendor to do a Re-Install for you. If that doesn't do it, buy a new one. Scientists say that the universe is made up of Protons, Neutron & Electrons. They forgot "Morons". Dave.

I'm no electronics genius, but to get to the cap you have to take the system physically apart and to do that while the system is running????? I seriously doubt that the cap is bad on that system. If it is, it's not expensive at all to replace the cap. Besides on a small system like that the programming should be redone in no time at all to someone who knows what he/she's doing.

A re-install would be my 2nd choice if a reboot didn't help. In either of those cases knowledge of how to program the system would be an essential prerequisite. There is always risk of losing of losing part or all the database when a system is rebooted even if the CAP is good. If neither of these help, then it is a hardware failure and the system will have to be repaired/replaced or live without a clock.
