Hi guys,

I got an old computer from a press which needs a new programmable battery since it gives an error message about CMOS. I need to replace the old one but must also transfer its program.

IC: ST M48T86

Can this be done with GQ-4x?

BR,
George

This is an equivalent of the DS12887. If the internal battery is dead you lost the data that was in the NVRAM. You need to find a copy of the binary file.

You are lucky no critical data like calibrations was lost with the dead battery.

if that was the case we would need a donor board to read the chip that was still operational. but how would we do that? I think we did not clarify this part :)

The chip retains the data until the battery is dead. You can copy a chip or back it up as any other chip.

You would need to look at the datasheet.
