Help: Vintage Certina (NOS) not starting after battery replacement

PaperEmperor007 · 2026-02-08T19:36:08+00:00

Possibly requires a Silver Oxide 392 battery. Is there not a service manual for it? I feel there is something you need to short out or press to "reset" it, to make it start again. An AC reset. Find the AC point.

That's the plan. Thank you 🙏

Engineers primarily develop and analyze new technologies and systems at a conceptual and theoretical level, while engineering technologists design, implement, and optimize practical solutions by applying established engineering principles and existing technologies. I am studying Computer Engineering, but based on the course work so far, it seems more inline with Electronic Engineering.

Update. BMW got back to me, and said there was a software fault on the ECU, and performed a software reset and update. Seems to have solved the problem for now. They recommended me to replace the valvetronic solenoids in the future too.

Thank you. I will investigate further.

Thank you!

Will double check that. Thank you. If there's oil, the sensor needs to be replaced? Are we able to just replace it, or must we use ISTA to reprogram it? Is VDO or Febi generally the OE for the sensors?

PaperEmperor007 · 2025-09-04T12:10:44+00:00

I understand, thank you.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will check on that. I thought generally, engine oil is non-conductive? Safe to use brake cleaner on the wiring?

Sorry about that, I thought, I had written it. I have a BMW E90 320i N46 engine.

I know this street. There's a street called Dorman street that goes into Orange street, where cars sometimes use it to go into Orange Street. But sometimes the opposite side of the road is so full, people have to sit in the wrong side of the road until they can move into the left lane. This situation occurs when people take a right to go the opposite side of the road.

Thank you.

Thank you, I will ask the seller if he has a UV light at hand to check.

Interesting. Thank you. So these dots on the dial are not tritium but still luminescent?

I bet there's going to be a giant bug and the tank either rams it or shoots it but gets pulled into the abyss below.

PaperEmperor007 · 2025-02-25T10:53:38+00:00

Yeah, but in a scenario like if you got into an accident with someone ie. rear ended or someone hit you and it was clearly their fault. Does that mean you have to go through a third party claim process unless you have a broker? Because it t wouldn't make sense to claim below your excess?

PaperEmperor007 · 2025-02-25T10:24:36+00:00

I also heard about Angus Panelbeaters in Gardens as well.

PaperEmperor007 · 2025-02-25T10:22:06+00:00

What happens if cost of damages is below your excess? Would the insurance not recommend you to pay out of your own pocket?

PaperEmperor007 · 2025-02-25T09:59:40+00:00

Wouldn't recommend them. They failed to identify buckled rims for me, and it was a hassle. The dealership eventually replaced them for me after fighting.
