Can a digital clock be prompt? Yesterday we noticed my husband's alarm clock have the
Yesterday we noticed my husband's alarm clock have the wrong time. Thinking that our 2 year old played near it, he reset it, only to discover that in the next couple of hours it be about 20 minutes nifty. he set it again before bed and by morning it be 2 hours fast. I've never hear of such a think, it's a digital display electronic alarm clock. It is character of old, but I never thought they would stop keeping time, is this ordinary?
Answers:
Any clock can be fast or slow. Yes it can, Sounds like time for a latest clock.
Sounds like a component surrounded by the oscillator circuit has changed or bungled with age and the oscillator is immediately operating faster than it should. As the other answer said, time for a new clock.
Before you throw it away, try another outlet contained by a separate circuit line contained by the house (say the kitchen). Clocks get a "clock" from the incoming AC, so if within is something wrong with your home power rank, the clock will run faster or slower.
