  • Watch how I was able to fix our broken wall clock whose hands stopped moving and unraveled a mystery that brought out the common symptoms of a malfunctioning quartz wall clock: it runs too slow or too fast, the second hand jumps back or gets stuck, or all the hands simply stop moving.

    Thank you for your help! The second hand on my clock is fine, it's the other two I have a problem with. After a while they quit working and when I pick the clock up to dust, the hands are loose and quit working again. How do I tighten them up, to where picking the clock up, the hands don't quit working?

      @@HanDIYman007 I guess you're next video could be, how to properly clean clock parts. Another problem I have with some battery operated clocks is when the batteries are new the clock runs fast and as the batteries fade the clock runs slow. There has to be a way to get a more accurate time! It seems almost all my clocks are battery operated, so maybe I'll just have to enjoy the beauty of my clocks and check my phone for accurate times. Lol. 🙂

    I have faced similar attacks by small ants on clocks and laptops. Somehow they are attracted by electronic gadgets. Att times they nibble on plastic gears, destroying them completely. Spiders sometimes build silken nests inside clocks, jamming up the works. The only way to prevent ants is to use a quick drying insecticide spray. But it should not be used in the clock's parts as the solvent used in the pray could damage the delicate parts. Small lizards too, manage to get inside wall clocks and jam them up.

      As far as wrist watches go, some of us have this odd ability of killing our watches within a few days /weeks. Once we stop wearing them they come back to life. As far as phones go, many people don't like relying on this technology because they can get distracted and sucked into it's other uses.
