Fixing broken clock?

So my clock has the alzheimers and can't remember the time past an hour or so.

Some where I read that the problem is due to a faulty solder somewhere on the board, but I can't seem to find it. The only thing I can think of is that one of the pins broke off into the wiring harness attached to the car. I haven't checked the harness yet to see if I can see anything, but I thought I'd put this thread out there.







Where is the faulty solder/failure point that I can fix?

Thanks guys.

Just buy a new one. It will be a quicker fix.

That costs money and there's no guarantee that it won't have the same problem.

Any ideas?

Do you really need it at all? I missed my clock when it finally gave out after many months of flickering on and off.

Then I realized that the two clocks that I still had working perfectly (the one on my GPS and the one on my Sirius Stiletto 2) were MORE than enough.

I haven't given my Max clock a second thought since.

Cost money ?? You can probably find one on here for $5-10 and it sure beats di*kin around with that one... Is your time worth money ??

My time is worthless!

Plus I'm curious, and would like to fix it if I could, as my girlfriend's clock has this problem, only worse. If someone has figured it out, please post!

Thanks!
