The Bios set-up appeared on my screen when I booted up....

I think it is the basic input..output system

Which is on my Mother Board.

It tells time and date......

I had to press ESCAPE and then ENTER to get pass it.

I could have pressed F12 or one of the other F buttons
but did not know which one.

The problem was the 3volt Cell Battery
Possible gone down to 2 and half volts.

A new Cell Battery has been replaced

The date is not on the cell battery, so never know how old they are, or how long they have been in stock.
Sometimes they only last a year or 10 years.

If it was not replaced the computer would not boot up.
Years ago they were soldered into the Mother Board and difficult to get out.

Do you have an AC adapter for it?

You have only Two Pins in your plugs...

Put it into our system and it blows up.

Shaving plug has two pins but goes into a 3 pin plug adaptor..it has two sockets for it.

We and Dubia are the only ones that Have ALETRNATE CURRENT....

So we do not need an A.C. Adaptor.

WE HAVE A THREE PIN PLUG....

One for Earth..one for Neutral..one live,

It is a ring system...You won't understand our Electrics.

Yours and the European System is rubbish.

Maybe it is called Direct current...not sure.

For this piece of info I need 3 points...

Why don't you have someone come to your house and alternate your current so its like the rest of the worlds??

Because it is all ready Alternate Current. YOURS IS DIRECT CURRENT

We are also World Leaders....We keep up with the times.

Our Alternating current is far SUPERIOR to yours...

Building sites use TRANSFORMERS...device for changing the voltage of electrical current

Copied and Pasted

In alternating current (AC, also ac), the movement of electric charge periodically reverses direction. In direct current (DC, also dc), the flow of electric charge is only in one direction.

The abbreviations AC and DC are often used to mean simply alternating and direct, as when they modify current or voltage.[1] [2]

AC is the form in which electric power is delivered to businesses and residences. The usual waveform of an AC power circuit is a sine wave. In certain applications, different waveforms are used, such as triangular or square waves. Audio and radio signals carried on electrical wires are also examples of alternating current. In these applications, an important goal is often the recovery of information encoded (or modulated) onto the AC signal.

Say what you want and confuse something as simple as an AC adapter, but we have them in the US and they work. We have transformers too.

Our electric always works, that's how we got the NASA launches off without a hitch.

Now how did I know you was going to mention Nasa...
forgot to tell you I use telepathy...extrasensory beyond my natural senses.

We do not need AC adapters. YOU DO

Am I scrambling your brains or sumfink...

WE INVENTED RADAR....so America is not the Power House it thinks it is.

Yes we are the powerhouse we think we are. We have the most powerful military in the world, and in order to have to most powerful military in the world you also have to lead the world in technology. Obviously we do both.

Dam The Germans got their before us...

inventors, scientists, and engineers contributed to the development of radar.
German Christian Huelsmeyer was the first to discover the effect of radar in 1904, but radar as we know it was invented and the acronym established in 1935 by three British scientists, Sir Robert Watson-Watt, A F Wilkins and H E Wimperis along with Sir Henry Tizard discovered its use putting it to exellent effect in World War 2.
