Not necessarily. Most are positive center, negative outer connector. But not all.

That's why I wrote "Supposedly", just because there is a standard doesn't mean people are following it.
And to complicate things further there are more than one standard, the original EIAJ standard actually specifies the outer barrel as positive and the inner pin negative, while the later IEC standard doesn't specify polarity as far as I know.

Great info. Thanks very much.

The user manual (found by googling your monitor and "power requirements") indicates Output voltage/current Output: 12VDC/3.33A for the power supply.

I'm going to have to go with the squirrel that looks like it yelling out "STOP!!!!"
if (Object.DividedByZero == true) { Universe.Implode(); }

I pictured it screaming: DON'T!

That works too

TY so many excellent photos.

Hi all,
Tomorrow I'll have to visit a customer that has a computer that shows "CMOS error" when starts.
If you press F1 enter the bios and reload the default values it restarts correctly.
It happens each time the computer gets shut down...
I thought about the battery, but they have changed it for a new one and the problem persists,...
Apart of getting a new computer... what would you do in that case?
Any recommendation?
Thank you all!

Battery. And battery connectors. You'd be surprised how many people can;t fit a new battery without using the old one instead...
If they are all fine, it's probably new MB time.

Take a 10lb hammer with you. Beat the machine until there is nothing left. Sell them a new PC. Problem solved.

That article states that "Sometimes leaving the computer can re-charge the battery". I never thought those batteries where meant to be recharged, or that mainboards are equipped with the circuitry required for recharging. Am I wrong about that?
The picture shows a lithium cell. Modern rechargable batteries are based on lithium. That doesn't imply that all lithium cells are made for recharging, and charging a lithium cell takes more than applying 3V to it (at least to do it safely). Before lithium became the standard, most or all button cells couldn't be recharged at all. Still, they lasted for at least a couple of years before needing replacement.
