DFE Laptop, Lenovo 100e 2nd Gen time sync failed

[Brax]

Hi all,

 

We still have some of the DFE laptops out to those students who don't have a home device. I've had one come into us today because the time and date is incorrect and according to what they've reported this is stopping them from using an alternative provision service called academy21. Went into the time and date settings and clicked on "sync now" and it just... failed. Ideally I want this to sync automatically for when clocks change but can't see why the time sync would fail. Any ideas?

I've had this happen occasionally, I find that turning off 'Set time automatically' then switching it back on works. if not, then turn off all the automatic time\date options then turn them back on again.

There was a reason for this, but I've forgotten it now

Thank you i'll give it a go.

Seemed to work! Changing the time in the BIOS might also be a solution but i've given it back to the student so fingers crossed.

This works. Changing the time in the bios as close to the minute and hour as possible also seems to work. They were able to get online.
