crwdns2915892:0crwdne2915892:0

The Sony PlayStation 2 Slim relies on a CMOS battery, essentially a modified battery designed to power the CMOS chip in the hardware. This chip is responsible for storing boot settings, system time, and date. A faulty CMOS battery can cause faults in game saves, incorrect system time, or prevent the system from powering up.
