    after the research of the aux battery,

    I finally got to replace the battery (Optima D51).

    had a trouble to change the adapter to fit new battery.

    smashed the whole thing, took about 2 hrs to get it.

    but I discovered puddle of water around the battery, I didn't know why there are water, but at least I found it's not from the battery.

    took all the napkins from the car to absorb water and used some kitchen towels.

    other than new adapter for the battery, it took less than an hour.

    after the whole new battery, i was adjusting the clock and pressing the button with a pen. now the clock fell back into the dashboard..:eek:
    one thing to another....I wish I have more time.. gotta wait till the weekend.
