In chess - your timer doesnt always work giving one player an advantage of unlimited time. can u fix it?

Question

in chess - when timer is selected, say for 2 minutes. After it counts down the 2-minutes for a player, the other player should win. But it doesnt always happen. Many times the game continues with 1-player having 0 time left but the other player loses when he eventually runsout of time.

Answer 1

Ding Ding! Time for a new one.

Answer 2

Not cost effective to repair an electronic clock.  First make sure you have set it properly, batteries ok, etc.  If all that is in order and it still fails it is time to order a new clock.

Answer 3

I would just be a new clock, a decent chess clock should cost $45-$150. Not to much money.
