Can anyone help me with my machine nearly every time I switch it on it resets ilog and ram, alarm then goes off and finally operates ok. I've checked the board for a leaky battery but it looks fine. It also doesn't do it all the time it was fine until I moved it from one place to another

It probably needs a new battery on the mainboard...  The battery keeps the data in the RAM alive and the RTC active whilst powered off

Ok thank you for your reply and help does this mean I need a new board or is it simply replace the battery?

No need to replace board. But get battery off asap so that it can't kill it. Just snip the battery off carefully. I would definitely use fly-wires to solder the new battery away from the board so if the new battery does leak, it wont kill the board.
